Does anyone here think they could give it a go?

That's quite some dedication there!
I don't think I would have the patience, although maybe one or two if I found a picture that bore a striking resemblance to me.

The artistic talent needed for oil painting is probably not in my DNA, alas.

Ah, there's no painting required here, paulh. You just do a bit of cross-dressing and someone takes a photo.

I *did* notice the sentence about his mother being diagnosed with schizophrenia...true artistry is often so close to madness, alas...

I'm perilously close to being a suitable cross-dresser, but I don't think I could look enough like my ancestors without losing a lot weight or getting taller.
If I wanted to take photos, I can think of better things to photograph....
