     It is funny how difficult it is to paint a face at a slight angle. Your eyes and brain just naturally want to straighten everything up, so I think Marlene might not be lined up as perfectly as she should be.

     Too bad I had to paint her hollow cheeks so dark,  but she just was not herself until I did.

     She was so amazing in the old movie, Judgment at Nuremberg.

     We love the birds that come to our bird baths, especially the ones who turn to give you a sardonic smile. We laugh when they splash wildly and happily in the water. This one is saying, "Doesn't take much to amuse you, does it?"
