Ya don’t have to convince me.

I’m an artist and one of the things I’m best at is pastel portraits.

*If* one little thing is slightly “off”, the client -will- notice it and the portrait will not truly look like the actual person.

Given that, I have to be hyper-aware of every physical feature and nuance in order to get a “photo realistic” drawing done or I don’t get paid.
[or I get paid but with complaints]

Years ago, the Freemasons commissioned a portrait of deceased member who left them a ton of money.

They gave me a photo of him as a young man circa 1940’s and a recent Polaroid in which his very blurred face was about the size of a pencil eraser.

It was worse than useless.

So...I had to “age progress” the 40’s photo to a portrait of a man who died in 1993.

They were stunned.

They all agreed “it looks just like he did when we knew him”.

It’s kind of like “forensic” art.

I know bone structure/facial features when I see them.

X marks the spot.

Davis doesn’t even remotely resemble him to my eye.
“Senior” is totally beyond the pale and I’ve never thought those girls resembled him or her, facially/genetically, just as *I* don’t really resemble my parents.

I look like my Welsh 3rd cousins.

Those darned recessive genes will have their way, sometimes.
