look alikes
tuesday: today i wanted to just directly paint on my old photographs. why am i saving them? i sorted a large lot of them into a group of professional photos. as i was coloring them i thought they looked either like people i know or people from tv. this one reminded...

saturday: i spent a day sorting my old photos and as i observed them i realized how the older women seemed so comfortable in their age. i really admire that and so i think i will render some portraits of these women. here is the first.
