The face is an amazing thing. It's so full of contrasts and hue. ![](gallery/cards/pirates_face_20060305.jpg) As I work on the face of the main person in this piece, I marvel at the human face. It conveys so much. Indeed, it's the first thing we ever know when we're fresh from the womb. Fascinating, to study a person's face. Anyway, just one of those "Wow" moments when life's simplest things give you great pleasure. ETC: Stopping for now... more later. ![](gallery/cards/pirates_20060305c.jpg) |
