Well, you've pretty much covered family, and people you like, but have not really addressed the issue of doing a portrait of someone you didn't "get along" with. Maybe you haven't run into that, or maybe you wouldn't accept a commission of someone who you didn't feel comfortable with.
Let me first say that the majority of people I meet are really good at heart and kindred spirits. No problem. But then again, there are those few that seem to think calling you "honey", or "sweetie", in a business environment, or somehow making it seem that being an artist is not a respectable occupation - like all artists are from 60's hippie communes or something, can get my dander up. I'm afraid if I even accepted the commission, I would have to paint a Snidley Whiplash mustache on the culprit, with relish!
Maybe this is just something some women artists experience.
