Vignette-Out of Context

Witty Will from London town
With his art acted the clown
They said he could not paint flesh or blood-
His 'Shrimp Girl' disproves this lie
When he gave portraiture a try.

Tribute-William Hogarth 1687-1764

Yes I would so love to not be able to paint like that. : ) Pretty impressive. Portraits are so difficult for many artists. Love, Shar
