Portraits.

I have just watched Rolf Harris's Art Show, and the three very different artists and their portraits of Jennifer Saunder's husband.  He being a comic chose the portrait that depicted him as such.

The very surreal one he liked, but was too far off his taste to be picked - he described it as a rubber fetishist's nightmare; the absolutely accurate (even to the lack of  a six-pack ) was perhaps too realistic.

It all touched a nerve.  I don't like my photograph being taken.  Others feel that some pictures are not what they really are.

Maybe that's how God feels about our representation of what he has created in His image.  We don't represent Him very well.
