On this painting I wanted to challenge myself with painting a vintage pocket tv that were so popular in the late 80´s early 90’s. I changed the Sony brand to Rotceh…which is my middle name Hector spelled backwards. I also wanted to paint a very small self portrait…I also got to be the star of my own adventure movie! 😀 ![tv](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/1X/e3732ac826f35aa066609d79af2d272153d074d8.JPG) ---

That is cool! I recently tried painting that small. Harder than painting big as your placement and steadiness of hand has to be to spot on! ---

Thank Nanci France! Yes, it´s so hard to be able to paint so many tiny details this small…it´s a challenge that always tests your patience and technical skills to the maximum. I tried to paint a very tiny detail like the corners of the mouth without much success…one tiny slip and I was already painting an unwanted stroke that I had to get rid of it. ---
