Pullin’ Teeth…….

Sometimes it is like pullin’ teeth to get something accomplished. I’ve been trying to put the finished piece on here but the scan I had done was so huge that my software program couldn’t shrink it down to a usable size.

I also had nine-kinds of trouble getting a print done of the original. But I did finally get that accomplished with much pain along the way. I won’t bore you with that drama.

And framing has been a pain in the neck………….. I guess I can just say the whole thing has not gone according to schedule.

So, without further adieu, here is how the finished piece turned out.

And this is the portrait as it will hang………….

 

Latest work……..

Here is the latest thing I’ve been working on…. still in the process of completion. (Notice that there is a signature already in place? I scratched it into the paper before blacking it as it would be quite difficult to sign it afterwards- not that it will make any difference 50 years from now!)
