say cheese

yup, back to them realistic paintings.

post that lovely chippery opening you can probably guess guess at the twisted lips & grinding teeth . And as any sane person you'ld probably ask: so why do you do them?!

I'm figuring they must be good for something. sort of like doing homework, or a trip to the dentist.

so there you go, painting's sometimes a cross between homework & a trip to the dentist.

this one's still in progress.

I'm also having a go at acrylics which are way way outside my comfort zone.
