'l'art pour l'art'
'l'art pour l'art' (Art for Art's sake)
Here's Some fun, for a change; No offence intended!
Here's some information on the history of art and the Art of Self-Portrait, for anybody interested
(Source Wikipedia.org)
"A self-portrait is a representation of an artist, drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by the artist. Although self-portraits have been made by artists since the earliest times, it is not until the Early Renaissance in the mid-15th century that artists can be frequently identified depicting themselves as either the main subject, or as important characters in their work"

Scream: A tribute to Munch
'Scream: A tribute to Munch', by Puneet Yadav
Oil on paper, 14x16
This is Puneet's first oil painting, an inspiration, drawn as a tribute to Edward Munch, one of our favourite artists. The simplicity and depth of Munch's celebrated painting 'The Scream', (indeed a 'Mona Lisa to Modern Art'!) were some of the reasons why Puneet could shed his inhibitions and pick up the brush! He's agreed to share it on The Happy Palette after much pursuation. Awaiting your comments and feedback. Here.
P.S. Below is some information and the wikipaintings link to Edward Munch. Have Fun! https://www.artsy.net/artist/edvard-munch
"'The Scream' is one of Edward Munch's more famous paintings, a name given to each of four versions of a composition, created as both paintings and pastels, by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch between 1893 and 1910. 'Der Schrei der Natu'r (The Scream of Nature) is the title Munch gave to these works, all of which show a figure with an agonized expression against a landscape with a tumultuous orange sky". (From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scream)
"A Norwegian born expressionist painter, Edvard Munch lived a tumultuous life, which was represented in his paintings. As a child, he was often ill in the winter, and kept out of school. To pass the time, he spent his days drawing. He also had a troubled childhood, as his mother died of tuberculosis after the birth of his youngest sister, and his favorite sister died of the same illness nine years later. The vivid ghastly tales heard as a child, combined with his poor health, the young Munch was plagued by nightmares and paranoid visions of death, which he would later incorporate into his artwork. Munch live much of his life in a nihilistic, bohemian lifestyle, in which binge drinking and brawling were the favorite pastimes, to his father’s constant disapproval. After his father’s death, leaving the Munch family destitute, and Munch, feeling that everyone around him had died, was plagued by suicidal thoughts. His personal tragedies and psychological idiosyncrasies evolved into a symbolic art form that expressed more internal emotion and feeling than projected an image of outside reality. In 1908, Munch had an acute break with reality, seeing hallucinations and suffering feelings of persecution. He spent the last two decades of his life in relative isolation, painting at one of his estates." (From Wikipaintings, http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/edvard-munch)
