Bitter
I think she looks more bitter in real life That is to say, the original seems, to me, to have a more emotive feel to it than does the scan.
Can’t bloody remember the date I finished this. Shall have to get back to you on that. It is acrylic on canvas, 16” x 20” and is of absolutely no one in particular.
Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

hummm well she looks like she is sticking her tongue out!

lol you’re right lol I never noticed that before. To me, she just looks like she has a tremendously large bottom lip that isn’t shaded as well as the top. Of course,I once knew a man who had lips like that, where the top one was darker than the bottom, the bottom one stuck out further. It was odd, but not unattractive. I think the scan made it look worse, though. sigh I shall see if I can fix it.

(sigh) Never mind. I decided it can darn well be left up to individual interpretation. To me it looks like a big bottom lip that the makeup has worn off of, and some unexplainable lines. To you, it looks like tongue. That’s fine. I suppose bitter people could stick their tongues out, if it would help them.
