I'm afraid that my latest "29 Faces" posts may have been a bit confusing (sorry)...  

The project I am currently working on requires lots and lots of "faces", so each of the faces that I have been posting is a completely new and different underpainting, on a new and different background.  

(Although, painting new images over previous ones sounds like a very fun challenge that I may have to try... someday!)
