A beautiful couple
« on: Tuesday 27 February 07 18:20 UTC (UK) »
William Paterson's son Billy and his wife. I have gazed at this beautiful portrait all my life...what a lovely couple!

The picture is fading. Billy's hair is quite blond and kind of blends into the background. Otherwise the pic looks in good shape, although doubtless all kinds of abuse will show up once I see it posted. Could someone please make it a bit brighter, is that possible? Thanks very much!

Also, a date. Maybe about 1900?

Cheers,
China

From the evil Photo Phaeries. They come in the night and scribble on pictures with crayons and inkpens. They scratch them, crease them and rip corners off. They smear jam on them, and leave tea cups parked on them. They attack them with scissors and cellotape. They spindle, fold and mutilate.

Don't believe in them, Mudge? Surely you've seen enough evidence, seen with your own eyes, the cruel leavings of these beings on this website! What will it take, Mudge, to make you see? The truth is out there, Mudge, the truth is out there!

Hi China

I hope Tomkin doesn't mind but I thought I would try the sketch effect that I recently learnt from him. Smiley

Here's a colour one from me, I hope you like it

Di, I wish I had waited, it's much more fun to colour yours than mine  Angry

Beautiful restore as usual, I will never get as good as you no matter how much I practice  Undecided Undecided
