Hanah M: Self Portraits

I have a couple friends who are amazing artists, so i send out a few emails to collect some self-portraits. Most of them have produced numerous self-portraits over the years, and sent me just one.

The first by my friend Annie, in which she says she is dressed as her aunt would dress a clown. I thought this was interesting, as its a picture and representation of herself, but not dressed in her usual way. Its Annie as a clown, herself but not herself.
The next is by my sister, and is a more traditional self-portrait in which is painting a truthful/accurate representation of herself. I believe this painting was painted from a photograph.
I'm curious to see what the result would be if i told them to paint a self-portrait in the style of the other one!
