Painting Sina
In the pack of canvases that I bought, there was a big 610 x 455 canvas, which I was saving for a landscape. "That could work!", I muttered out loud. Within ten minutes 'HIGA' became 'HIG'. I had traced and transferred the 'HIG' outline onto the large canvas, via cling film. I pencilled in, the missing feet and 'HIGA' was reborn!
It's not fun trying to duplicate a painting. Could I even achieve it. I have never duplicated before, it's a bit boring. If you went up to Leonardo Da Vinci and asked him to paint you a Mona Lisa, he would probably tell you to go forth. I decided to speed paint it. Within a few days I knew I had a chance of success. Barefoot Sina was now alive and kicking.
Flicking my eyes to the unvarnished 'HIG' hanging on my wall and then back to 'HIGA' on my easel was a little disconcerting. After a week, the clone took shape. Not only that, she was electric. I was bold with my brush too. Why not, even if I failed with 'HIGA', I already had 'HIG'. With nothing to lose, I splashed it on. A packet of broken biscuits later, it was done. I looked at 'HIGA' for a moment and thought, shall I now destroy 'HIG', in order to make 'HIGA' unique; no way!

The two paintings 'HIG' and 'HIGA' are very similar, like twins, almost inseparable. Which painting is better, the three month 'HIG' or the three week 'HIGA'? On that thought, my friends... I will let you be the judge.
