You see, what happened was.......

Now I know this will come as no surprise to all you tech savvy types out there, but if you adjust your pince-nez correctly, assuming you are in a similar age group to me, and fiddle around a bit with the controls on Picasa, you can get a better result if you've made a Horlicks of the photography. Now it's not up to David Bailey standards, but I'm fairly sure that this is a little clearer than the pictures posted yesterday. The trouble with being a dinosaur is you can't hold the brush properly, and computers are tricky, devious,  malevolent dark magic items that defeat the less able. Alternatively, I could just use my eyes and brain a bit, but that hurts.

    Thanks very much, e-p! I was concerned that it was a bit too left-field, but I think it works. Thanks for looking in.

    Thanks Simon! Actually, as these pictures are synched to the web, it appears that they have updated on the original post since I altered them all on my Picasa album- I didn't realise that would happen. I'm such a mug!

    That really shows off the great skin tones that you've done. Really, really nice!

      Thanks Harold! I really must get to grips with technology. Still, as stated above, a number of my other pictures appear to have been updated automatically, so I could have just done that! Thanks for the encouragement!

    Great job with both the paint and the tech :)

    Thank you kindly Spacejacker! As far as the tech is concerned, I've only just found out which end of a pencil sharpener to use, so this is a quantum leap for me! All I need to do now is find a secure way to attach my laptop to my zimmer......
