Hello friends

Well those of you who can cast your minds back to March of this year might remember the original version of this. (The second one on the post) I liked it but never felt happy with it. Being it concentrated on the faces I felt I had not got them right, that they did not represent Andy and his Aunt well enough.

So a few weeks ago I had another go (The third one) , with Andy, softened things up and yes I was happier, but then I got a new toy and figured out how to use it and so created the final version seen in the main pic. Now Andy looks like Andy, our Andy and 'Gulp' this Andy too, plus I stripped away the bright glossy colours of Andy's make up, changing them for subtle tones, highlighting the fact that he really needed little make up to bring out the feminine in him.

I also finally got Jane right, got some depth and sparkle in her eyes and a smile to really do her justice.

Now there is another version, one that features something very important in the story of Andy and Jane, but that, my dear friends, is a story for another day

That final version is magnificient. Simple and soft. [How unlike Andy himself ;-) ] You must say more about your new toy (software or hardware or does that merit another wink?). Lovely . xxx

Both Andy and Jane are so lucky; Andy to have a devoted and skilful Aunt to do the transformation, and Jane to have such a perfect subject to work on. And of course you yourself for bringng them all to life. Thank you.

Now that is something that I enjoy waking up to, and yes, the coffee is hot and not my first. The look in the first is a cure day look. can she talk him into pictures out back in the garden? The second is very dramatic. An evening out planned for dinner and a show? But the last is the sweet and innocent Andrew we have come to love. I think he is ready for a day of shopping, or an art show and brunch. Thank you for the link down memory lane as well.

In the earlier attempts, lovely as they are, Andy would understandably be quite frightened of his new look, the final version truly is the sweetest and most acceptable to him to begin the journey his caring Aunty sets. xxx

Thank you Aidan, That is exactly the emotion I was trying to capture, there is almost a gasp on his lips and a tingle of excitement behind the eyes. Bless you for your time and kind comment XXX

They are all good in their own way. The 2nd one is good, but I feel not for a girl like Andy. My vote goes to the 3rd one.
