A Birthday Gift
My SO sent me this lovely drawing of Buffy for my birthday. (July 26th)

He managed to capture the rather surprised look she always has when I snap a photo. Yep, that's Buffy. He sent a nice card along with it, too. Thanks for the birthday wishes, Mary. Jill |

They've got her expression beautifully. Judith Thanks! He did a really nice job with it. And yes, he captured that somewhat startled look on her face perfectly. Jill |

It started as a coloured pastel/soft pencil sketch. He added some oil touches to it. He told me worked on it for about three weeks, trying to get it just right. He's never quite satisfied with his work. I think it's wonderful. Jill |

My SO is not an unhappy person. Mary paints. We've seen some of her wonderful work here (Duffy sitting on top of one!). She completely understood what I meant. John is always touching up or making changes to his paintings. Not being "satisfied" doesn't mean he's unhappy at all. He's critical of his own work and tries to improve on it. Funny, I thought you would understand that's what we meant. Jill |
