Whoever painted me has no talent

shalannaSupposedly (though I can't find it online), Teresa Nielsen Hayden started a meme about "Who painted you?" That is, if you were in a painting, who would the artist be?
Whichever no-talent *$^%# painted my fat a** has no talent and should try something else, like baking cookies or planting trees. Don't quit your day job!!
I'd love to be able to say I'm Pre-Raphaelite or Matisse-esque, but unfortunately it runs more to Dali in the surrealist period with the melting watches. Wait--I suppose you could get a vague idea from all those fat chicks in Peter Paul Rubens (Rubenesque), except I never go around dressed like that. Or undressed like that, as the case may be.
At any rate, I demand to be drawn by a better artist! Perhaps a cartoonist for the next incarnation. No, not somebody like Stan Lee! I was thinking more Charles Schulz or Bill Watterson. Or the guy who draws FoxTrot. Not Scott Adams, though. And not the Garfield guy, because I don't want to have those goo-goo-googly eyes. Dots (as in Schulz) will be perfectly fine, thanks.

no subject

"And the subject no Venus," replies Franklin.
I have the same view as Franklin -- where I'm concerned, the subject's no Venus. Maybe I'd be happy being represented on canvas by Miro. I like the whimsical nature of his works. Or Marcel Duchamp. His "Nude Descending a Staircase" is one of my favorites. However, he'd have to paint me clothed.
