John Singer Sargent said…

“A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.”

and

“Every time I paint a portrait, I lose a friend.”

Sadly, a lot of the time it appears that he is right.  With the first quote, anyway.  I have not lost a friend, yet, that I know of, and I don’t know that Sargent did, either.  But, I have never, yet, gotten a mouth right.  LOL!
