Most of my paintings go through the Ugly Phase. I have to dive right in and push that oil paint until I start to become satisfied with it. Right now I can't bear to look at it without correcting every little thing. When I can't stop looking at it without finding more to do, that's when I start to enjoy the process of painting. The end result of a piece thrills me when I feel it has come out well. The process of getting there is more a wracking exercise in frustration.
At this point, I feel Lim Leng Hiong of Fresh Brainz is right; Professor Dawkins looks somewhat stern in my rendition. I think I'll go with it. Combatting irrational creationists is a stern business.

I'm reading "The God Delusion" right now. It's funny how I can kinda hear his voice and see his face while reading.
Some parts of the book I can almost see him looking sternly like that.
Go Glendon!
He does have a great voice, doesn't he. Mild and clearly enunciated.
