September 2,2009 My very first post.

   Well Cindi and I challlegned each other to paint dark colors in this last wishy washy exercise. For our painting we picked this very lovely Namibian girl.provided by Patrick Hedges. Thankyou Patrick.  It took me three tries to finally say this is the one I'm showing. I used  Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna and  Cadnium Scarlet for the colors. I think I did her justice and am pleased with her personality coming through.

    Nora,
    I started my first blog a few days ago and have been receiving great encouragement from Cindi!
    I will add my name as a follower of your blog and we can learn this blogging business together.
