Miniature Acrylic Painting of Wild Daisies

Friday, April 18, 2014

Head shots of me

This is a portrait  of mine. A slightly 3/4  with  the lighting at the back and at the left side of the portrait.  The light is subdued which the face is not so bright and the shadows are not so dark.The edges of the shadows are not so sharp that makes the picture  flat on the surface of the paper.


The light of the picture comes from the left side of the picture which   i s bright. The shadow on the right side of the nose makes the ridge more prominent and it looks longer than the light shadow. This is a very slight 3/4 view of a portrait.


This is an excellent  3/4 portrait because of the great shadow at the right side of the nose. It makes the nose more promi nent and longer  than  the nose that is slioghtly shadowed.


This is a frontal lighting which the light i s at the front,  and bright. Here the nose looks like wider and short  ridge because of the slight shadow present at the right side of the nose. It is a great smile with a diamond earing on th e right ear lobe that gives an accent to one of the facial features of the face, and it gives lustre forever .Diamond is not only a women's best friend nowadays, but also  a men's  best friend.

The Blind Men and The Elephant

The Blind Men and The Elephant

by

John Godfrey Saxe

1

It was six men of Indostan,

To learning much inclined,

Who went to see the elephant,

(Though all of them were blind,)

That each by observation

Might satisfy his mind.

2

The first approached the elephant,

And, happening to fall ..

Against his broad and sturdy side,

At once began to bawl:

"God bless me! but the elephant

Is very like a wall!"

3

The second, feeling of the tusk, !

Cried: "Ho! what have we here,

So very round, and smooth, and sharp?

"To me 't is very clear, ..

This wonder of an elephant

Is very like a spear!"

4

The third approached the animal,

And, happening to take

The squirming trunk within his hands,

Thus boldly up he spake: ,

"I see," quoth he, "the elephant

Is very like a snake!"

5

The fourth reached out his eager hand, .

And felt about the knee:

"What most this wondrous beast is like,

"Is very plain," quoth he;

'T is clear enough the elephant "

Is very like a tree!"

6

The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,

Said:"Ellen the blindest man

Can tell what this resembles most:

Deny the fact who can,

This marvel of an elephant

Is very like a fan!"

7

The sixth no sooner had begun

About the beast to grope,

Than, seizing on the swinging tail

That fell within his scope,

"I see," quoth he, "the elephant

Is very like a rope ! "

8

And so these men of Indostan

Disputed loud and long,

Each in his own opinion

Exceeding stiff and strong,

Though each was partly in the right,

And all were in the wrong!
