Earl has earned every inch of that waistline!

Nelson, you’d make a successful portraitist.

It’s all you had to work with!

Nelson’s early photoshopping days.

“I worked hard to get this tummy. It took a lot of chewing and swallowing.”

When an artist explains his expressions…

Nelson has discovered his artistic license!

I’d love to see that drawing!

Yes, that tummy has already gone pretty far.

Nelson didn’t want to waist his time…

Maybe Opal should give Nelson a picture of Earl when he was young. Then he could draw the picture the way Earl wants. Darker hair, not gray, smaller gut, etc. The nose, well, maybe it’s always been that way.

Too many changes (improvements) and it doesn’t look at all like him.

Earl the Super Model.

It’s good to see that Nelson understands the difference between Artistic license and Artistic murder.

Like a free makeover, Earl!

A sweet gesture, Nelson.

from a grandchild 2 out of 3 ain’t all that bad! js

“I could have drawn you less horrific-looking, but I wanted it to look realistic.”

Maybe quit while you’re AHEAD..????

Chip off the ol’ block!

Apparently, Nelson spent all of his “artistic license” to make improvements to Earls appearance. If he’d made anymore enhancement, no one would recognize that it was Earl!

hehe, cute kiddo knowing he can’t fib everything. hehe

And no one would recognize you.

No, my boy, your Karl Malden nose is too small.

This kid could pick up a lot of spare cash doing Un-caricatures at the mall. :)

kinda like photoshop, only different!

Right on Nelson……

Kids

He’s not bald yet, but to a child, he probably is.

Aww, how sweet?
