'Crocodile Tears' is a term used a lot in theater to describe fake crying. The expression also comes from an ancient anecdote that says 'crocodiles weep in order to lure in their prey.'
This artwork is meant o depict a model/sculpture that is so real, it is able to cry and in turn, lure the artist to her.

I should also mention that I LOVE SHORT HAIR on women. I'd say it is my favorite aesthetic attribute. I know that isn't a common thing for a guy to think but I believe it takes a very beautiful and feminine face to pull it off, like what you see here.

:bulletblue: Favorite comment to date: I agree with your love of short hair, not every woman can pull it off! O wise master your realism is stunning, and your imagination is as well! *robjoeball

EDIT: Changed the paintbrush to an airbrush / added paint bottle / added crocodile texture background.

Funny you mention the short hair thing. It doesn't look like her much, but when I first saw the pic on your front page I thought it was based on Winona Rider, another doll that can pull off short locks and look dead sexy.
