Thomasin,

I restored your post! It was lost and now it's found!

What a thoroughly competent moderator!

If I could convice my client that the scraped head is the way to go, I would. I do like them, because there is still the spark of life, but veiled.

MY LEVEL OF COMPENTENTCY!

If you give a monkey enough time, meaning infinite.......................

You know Sharon, you are going to have to face facts one day: you are very good at painting. But enough, enough! All this mutual flattery is going to get virtual rotten eggs thrown at us!

Then let us make egg temperas!

I am fabulous, I tell you FABULOUS!

I am going through a bad painting patch. This head will not let it self be painted. I am running out of excuses and operations to ward off my clients. I had to resort to the head shot, because I scraped off ALL the work from life.

I wanna go to jail!

Deep sympathies. I've been going through a very similar circumstance. I've a portrait in progress that deserves to be burned, but since it's from a life sitting...well...the color notes are okay but the image itself is rotten...
