I had scanned an old piece of paper with water stains and things like that on it. Then I put the two together in Photoshop program. If you were here, I'd show you how. xoxoxox

It's fun to learn to use the tools of the computer to do artwork. But I still love 'real' things like paint, paper, scissors, etc.

Super work! Speaks old fashioned to me once again like some of your other work but i love what you've done with this, the face and colours of the clothes remind me of a bit of Francis Bacons work, especially his face work on Portrait of Pope Innocent X, mostly because your facial expressions seems to be screaming something painful towards me.
