    I have to go with you on the button thing Jay, those are infinitely more eye catching than plastic would be. I don't think anyone can gripe about this as issue is always a matter of the old and the new. As usual this one proves your uh, intimate relationship with Satan... :}.

    Once I stopped chuckling Steve, I was able to jot down my thanks. Glad you like my choice of fasteners. Gotta go........I think that's Beezlebub hollerin' at me again...........:eek:

    Hi Jay,
    a fabulous painting on that bust. I love the fine transitions and your clean work. First thing that cought me was its eyes, I love how you played with details here(and on the finger nails). Best wishes,

    Thanks Alan, I'm glad you like the flesh tones. I had to exersize some real restraint from going to dark so I could achieve the "cold" look I wanted. I'm usually right in with deep shadows on the outset that I had to really tone down in this case. Thanks again for the kind words!
