Yellow,
Love, Love, Love this English Pulled Face sketch, it's fabulous. What was the inspiration for this? Anyone in mind? Thanks too for commenting on my one year anniversary. Hard to believe! You'll be at my party in spirit. But I have a special gift for you. What's your email? chris@chrisbolmeier.com is mine.
Thanks you talented girl!
Hiya Chris, it's painted from a photo of my Dad taken a few weeks ago. Ooh, I'm excited now, I'll drop you an email
Dad lovels this. The kids love it. I love it. This one's definitely a hit.
This is very cool... it's not just an English practice... but this one's a very nice specimen... Hope you're well?
