...the problem with the undersea goddess* one is the hideous disparity between foreground and the rest. Only solution I can think of is a damart and phylocyanide scrumble which should help - have to wait for it to dry properly first. And the satyr one needs a deal of fiddling - the bottom and foot of the photographer, the legs and outline of the satyr, plus I think his camera is at the wrong angle.

But But but its thursday. Housework day. There are few things more depressing than the prospect of a days housework. But on the plus side I don't do it any other day.


*Forgot to say that my source was 2 photos snapped on a mobile camera in Paris - Grand Palais, I think - at an expo of undersea discoveries there. Went with Therese whos dead a few years now. Had them put onto paper in Woolwich at the Snappit Shop. Felt like very advanced technology at the time.
Have developed the images several times but never painted it in before, I don't think - its all tied in with Therese and accordingly rather hard to manage.

Later; Can't manage to scan the photos but have re-photo'd and here they are - Therese dimly in the background of one - green rings a mystery, ditto luminous eyes.
House clean. No work done.  Asthma baddish. Tomorrow busy with stuff ( buying materials, chiefly) apart from the early morning - but next week clear.
