I'm hardly commenting these days because too busy. BUT I have to say that the distortion is a big issue. I had a lovely lady approach me only days ago and give me her website address. Every single painting on it, I looked at and said "photo-distortion". It's much worse in a painting because there isn't that visual shorthand we have become accustomed to in photography. Sorry.

Jean and Janet,

I agree with both of you and have emailed Brandon with some tips. The more I look at them the more obvious it is.

Jean, I knew you would like the idea! This is the greatest kid, and I think his features are extraordinarily expressive, real moody deep eyes and full lips - great to draw and paint!!!

More later, when I get better photos.

Thanks for the second and third pair of eyes!
