So Teresums calls me up: “What you doing?”
“Bug off! I’m busy painting a picture of you.”
“Paint me with a pirate’s eye patch.”
“No way!”
“Paint me with a pirate’s eye patch, you donk-meister!”
So who can resist such charm..? I experimented with the hand a bit, and don’t quite like the result. Also, I dislike the background, and the painting really doesn’t capture her. But the eye patch came out just fine, which after all is the important thing, right?
Whose hand is that, Paul? The skin tone… the skin tone ….

Yeah, that was an experiment, Riali, It didn’t turn out too well, did it?

It’s not bad. Just recolour the hand…

I could do that but it’s only a color sketch anyway. I’m finished with that canvas.

Excellent portrait of an eye patch! With some incidental features

ROFLMAO! Yeah, that’s pretty much how I feel about it too. With apologies to Terese.

It can’t be helped! Sometimes one little detail takes over the whole painting! I’m sure she’s happy to have been painted with an eye patch, though. Who wouldn’t be? Unless they actually had one eye… then they would probably want to be painted like they had both eyes. The grass is always greener

When she saw the painting, she was actually delighted with the eye patch — despite that the painting doesn’t do her justice.
