The latest of the Gainsborough self-portrait lot:
I'm making a lot of possibilities, testing things out so I can find the perfect one. Actual Gainsborough paintings are often more than 60 inches tall, so given that it's going to be huge and expensive and on my wall (probably covering most of the wall) for the rest of my life, I want to make certain to pick a good one.
Meanwhile, I got my glasses today! I'd say yay but I'm actually much less than pleased! It's not just how they make me look but how they make me see -- they're definitely only for distance viewing, and even that is kind of fucked up looking but in a different way than usual. I'm able to read at a distance and see TV and movie screens. Flat things of this type are fine. If I want to look at something with actual depth, though, that's when weirdness happens. They somehow managed to give me glasses that cause everything to look like a paper diorama -- there's depth but not a natural depth, everything is divided into flattened layers.
