Bruce Jensen has been working digitally for years now but he consented to paint -- with actual pigment and brushes! -- this little guy for our MicroVisions auction. (Confessing that painting at 5x7 required the stacking of reading glasses.) I'm outing him here as a "Painter with Pigment" so that he feels compelled to make more of these for himself.
