Out of this Mouth ...
It's the mouth that fascinates me ...
And the stuff that's come out of this mouth -- well, it defies belief.
The best portraits, to my mind, start with a fascination by the artist with a particular feature. I can see this painting starting at the mouth and just blossoming outwards. Perhaps losing intensity the farther from the mouth it goes, although that may be a bad idea.
Best case scenario -- they put me on that list the NRA has of "enemies." It would be an honor, and I say this as a member of an organization full of decent people controlled by zealots.
That being the NRA.
I was told, when I joined, that it stood for Not Really Angry.
Apparently, this was a lie.
