I don't find this portrait "ugly" at all. I love the marks around the mouth. They seem a little like "morphing" (you into your father) and a little like animated facial expressions. I don't know how you did it but it is very successful. Thank you for finding and posting that portrait of your father. There is a definite resemblence between the two of you. He looks like a complex person with a good sense of humor.

That would make an amazing topic for discussion. Can we put it in the Cafe section?
