Here we are, the 10th round of being "almost done"! Last week, the cardboard background came un-taped and fell onto my little guys, causing the head of Mr. Rose-handed sparkly jumpsuit to split open even further. Time is washing them away before my eyes!

A photo of a painting in progress, and the still life behind it. The painting is of three little guys. Two fluffy guys in a basket, and one round-headed guy in a sparkly jumpsuit, who has a rose for a hand.
