In 1993 I painted my dad stood at a bar. It wasn’t very good at all, but I took it to show him and he was a bit lukewarm about. Then he phoned his girlfriend whilst I was there and told her that I’d painted him “bog-eyed”. My dad died 16 years ago but I just got the crappy painting back and scanned it. I’ve cleared up some severe crease and tear damage and moved his right eye by 4 pixels. I’m sure that made a lot of difference(!) Now to file that in a digital folder never to be opened again.
