Answers to the self-portrait quiz.
Here are the results of the Self-Portrait quiz from my previous post.I have tried to show two self portraits or one plus two photographs, if possible, in each case. Clearly, the winner was David in a difficult quiz buts there were many good answers as well.
Hi bazza, I'd just like to thank my agent, for knowing talent when he sees it; God, for creating such a uniquely gifted human being (i.e. me); and finally my parents, for producing such a humble and shy individual. Seriously, though, bazza, it's always good fun participating in one of your famous quizzes, and I'm over the moon having won one! Unfortunately at the moment I can only hear the sound of my own applause! Thanks all the same. Best Wishes, David.
I enjoyed your quiz - but isn't No. 8 with sunflower Antony van Dyck?? - But I find my blog is full of errors when I check back for something much later. It's so easily done on the web.
Hi EB (I hope you don't mind me addressing you thus!?) Thanks for your visit. I looked at your Blog and it's right up my street so I will be following it. Of course you are right about Van Dyke; even as I wrote the answer I felt that something was wrong so thanks for pointing it out in a gracious way.

Brilliant! Thank you David - I have started the day with a laugh. Well done sir!
Hi Bazza - I really should have known some others ... did know them - but they didn't appear on paper! or the blog ...
It was an interesting quiz ... I enjoyed that - perhaps not during the A-Z ... even though I'm not participating ...
Cheers Hilary
I knew I should have recognized the last picture!
Thanks for the answers, and the photos of the artists. The ones I missed, I would have never guessed.
Thanks Hilary. They look easy when seen with the answers!
Hi Sherry. I was surprised that the Bob Dylan picture was not more well-known.
