I oughta be in pictures

It's not everyday that a gal gets her face painted. I just commissioned a portrait from Christine Courington and I'm truly pleased with the results. I know that photographs with the obligatory Photoshopping are all the rage on the web...but I'm completely enamored with portraiture, mostly because the painter can often place emphasis on the quirkier aspects of personality.

Painting certainly can subtract things but it can also add and enhance things that air brushing can't. And thank god for that.
