A while ago I did some fictitious Facebook "friend me" paintings

Since then Facebook has changed format and I've come to realize nothing can top the real Facebook photos. I found some interesting ones and I want to do them in a loose style in an exercise to break my noodling addiction - This is based on a real Facebook homepage photo.

These are great! Especially Mr. Bates trying not to look crazy.

Kay, Kay, Ayin Thank you much appreciated.

Funny thing - I'm looking for faces on Facebook when I find this guy in formal attire, sitting proper, holding a single long-stem rose. So I'm using it as a reference, it's a pretty small image and when I go to do the rose I zoom in and discover - it's actually not a long-stem rose - the rose is on his boutonniere! He's sitting with his hands folded which I thought was holding the stem of the rose that is really on his coat button.!

Norman Bates needs friends! Wonderful work and it’s great that you saw the long stem rose.

Thank Donna. I remember trying to do a FRED KRUGER - Boiler Room Tech.
