Thanks Patricia, I love that expression too!

Hi Jimmie, great! Thats about how far away I was when I took the photo, so I am so happy it reads that way. Now I have about 150 pastels, so I guess it's not that limited but it still feels like it.

Thanks for that, thats music to my ears.

No worries about that other thing! Whenever, if ever you get to it, would be wonderful, even if you don't it's no problem at all. I'm sorry I don't log in here often, so this is late, but a huge congatulations to you on the ARC award!!!! What incredible news. One day soon you will be getting them for your pastels too!

Thanks for your observations Mike. I can't get a very good picture of this piece. So when I edit it in photoshop some areas get too hot. In real life they are not so saturated but maybe still a little too much. If that's what's causing the cartooney feel I hope I can correct it. The hand really does need a lot of work, today I noticed it is also too big.

The ear looks OK to me, less is more there I think.
Great! One less thing to worry about. Thanks Mike!
