First oil pass on the face.  Glad I went a bit tighter on this underpainting and refined the values before I went to color, because this went pretty fast.  Should have minor adjustments tomorrow and starting on the arms and hands.

“A society that does not accept the facts is a childish society, and a society that makes abortion illegal—and I believe that the PBAB is a calculated step in exactly that direction—is a cruel and backward society that makes being female a crime. It works in partnership with the illegal abortionist. It puts him in business, sends him his customers, and employs him to dispense crude, dirty, barbaric, savage punishment to those who break the law. And the ones who are punished by the illegal abortionist are always women: mothers, sisters, daughters, wives.

It’s no way to treat a lady.”

Yes, Republican Mitt Romney appears eligible to be president, according to a copy of Romney’s birth certificate released to Reuters by his campaign. Willard Mitt Romney, the certificate says, was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947.

His mother, Lenore, was born in Utah and his father, former Michigan governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate George Romney, was born in Mexico.

How does one run for president if they’re born in Mexico?

OMG the comments on the Reuters page make me sad. Every single comment so far has failed to notice that this story refers to Mitt’s father having been born in Mexico, not Mitt. READING COMPREHENSION.
