The idea was..

to take a photo and use a sketching app to see what would eventuate. I gave this idea up pretty quickly as I looked began to look like a truck driver with a beard, being splashed with pure mud!
Thankful for:
I was left with this one..wrinkles and all!

Oh your narrative did make me chuckle! Like the one you posted though:)

[JackieR]

Oh Maggiemae, i'd love to see the mud splattered you! But honesstly this is such a regal portrait and I see no wrinkles that haven't be earned from life laughs and love

[Maggiemae]

@fbailey Rather daring, - no make-up at all!

[judith deacon]

All your experimentation resulted in a lovely portrait but I double dare you to upload the truckie with a beard!

[Maggiemae]

@judithdeacon You are on, Judith!

[Clare Gadsby]

you could never look like a truck driver with a beard! this is a lovely portrait of your beautiful warm face :)

[Maggiemae]

@pistache You are too nice, Clare! Did you see the other photo?

[Clare Gadsby]

@maggiemae yes!

[kali]

nice portrait, like the colours

[Babs]

Ha ha love the narrative. Checked out both the before and after. I don't think you look like a truck driver either in the other photo, but maybe go back on the medication, ha ha.

[Julie Duncan]

Lovely, soft portrait!

[katy]

You look so elegant here.

[Mags]

Such character in that lovely face! Your soul is shining through, Maggiemae. =)

[Taffy]

Hehe! I think this is a terrific portrait, and agree that the line mapping did not do you justice!

[Bep]

Love your narrative and your beautiful portrait.

[Pat Knowles]

Oh yes this one is far nicer...you look lovely & I reckon we could be twins with our pearls!

[Thom Mitchell]

Wrinkles are earned, along with gray hairs. Some can occasionally be assigned to particular children…!

[Diana]

Fabulous portrait, narrative and comments 😊

[gloria jones]

Wonderful portrait and narrative

[Judith Johnson]

Actually it's rather soft and flattering!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em..thats what I say (pearls) but do not say that about my rather large bosoms!

[Maggiemae]

@rhoing My youngest son went grey about 20, Thom! No-one else did!

[Islandgirl]

This is a wonderful portrait.............much prefer this one!

[Harry J Benson]

Much better then the sketching app

[Maggiemae]

@hjbenson Perhaps the sketching app is more suited to architectural shots, do you think, Harry!

[Marnie]

Mmmm, can't see much resemblance between the two shots. I can see why you prefer this one.

[*lynn]

Lovely, much better than a truck driver splashed with mud! Your narrative made me laugh.

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Well Harry says that about them too...not on you I might add...usually someone much younger than me!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[haskar]

Lovely portrait.

[Cally]

What a lovely portrait of you.
