Will re-shoot the offending image as soon as I can get my hands on it and e-mail the new shot to you. Steve:

Sometimes the system fails and it also censors innocuous comments. In either case, let us know by email and we'll fix it. Sorry, I don't like the bright flash on the last one. I'd rather see your painting clearly. White is a very powerful distractor in a color work. Jay,

It then became an exercise in what to do with such a distortion. The blatant deformation seemed to call for a degree of chiaroscuro to balance things out. And I can see how it might read like an illustration. In regard to any constancy the four examples I put up are all over the place. Of these, the approach I'll most likely follow is in number four.

The third painting is out of my mainstream in that I did a lot of finicky things with it. Tree:
