Lend me your ears
 

I love painting ears. I really mean I LOVE painting ears! Ears are every bit as much a feature as eyes, mouth or nose.

I think that ears are underrated as to their importance in likeness.

This spring I am taking a forensic workshop with Karen Taylor at the Scottsdale Artists' School. There are forensic expertrs who believe that ear shapes are every bit as accurate as fingerprints in identifying an individual. We should all pay attention to ears.
