What is an artist?
Well, let's see...
”What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.” -- John Ruskin.
”Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” -- Picasso.
”An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision.” --.
”Every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures.” -- Henry Ward Beecher.
”Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day." -- Winston Churchill.
”The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.” -- Picasso.
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget that errand." -- Woodrow Wilson.
”No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." -- John Donne.
Need more? Then http://painting.about.com/od/artandarti … Quotes.htm is for you.
”Even at best talent remains a constant, and those who rely upon that gift alone, without developing further, peak quickly and soon fade to obscurity.” -- David Bayles and Ted Orland.

The Artist's Life (1994)
Rembrandt dies in near bankruptcy at age 63, Rubens in wealth and esteem at the same age. Van Gogh, utterly without hope that his art will ever be understood, shoots himself in the stomach at age 37. Picasso dies an extremely wealthy nonagenarian. Such are some artists' fates.
Despite the common humanity linking all people, artists are a different breed. They spend a lifetime, as surrogates of mankind's quest for meaning, truth and beauty, translating into art their feelings and observations of the world that non-artists note only in passing. ...
This is an essay on art and artist's fate

Portrait painting is a genre in painting, where the intent is to depict the visual appearance of the subject, most often a person. A well executed portrait is expected to show the inner essence of the subject (from the artist's point of view, of course) not just a physical likeness.
The term 'portrait painting' can also describe a painted portrait. Portraitists create their portraits by commission or are inspired by admiration or affection for the subject. If an artist portrayes him- or herself, the result is called a self-portrait.
Portraits can depict the subject 'full body', 'half length' or 'head and shoulders'. Beside human beings, animals, pets and even inanimate objects can be chosen as the subject for a portrait.
Here you can find extra links about portrait art.
