Why I had such difficulty last time seeing the Tibetan Monk's face as I was painting became a wee bit more understandable today when I decided to measure the face in question. Of course, I decided to measure it after I had done some work on it so I couldn't put the ruler directly on his head. Even so, the closest I could figure is the face is 7/16th of an inch.
Anyway, it finally occurred to me to use a magnifying glass in order to improve the previous work. I think it's better, but you can judge for yourself. Below is last week's work:

you're going to disown me - but I like the first one better - the face, that is. Anyhow, it's awful darned small and I'm amazed you can paint a face that little! The painting is turning out to be really nice!
