  4. Wow! The reds and greens are amazing. His hair and skin tones are beautifully done, as well as his features. His eyes have a sadness to them.

  13. It's been fun to watch Karen. This on is very bold and exciting. I thought of you last night when I saw this mug shot of a guy on the news from somewhere. He was missing some teeth and making this face so he looked like a bulldog.
