Inspired to "go for it"

Yvonne,

Thank you for your posting about Expressive Portraits. I am glad to hear the you enjoyed the article from Watercolor Artist; I thought that they did a very good job describing parts of the book.

I haven't painted a lot of children because I am concerned about making them too sweet and I admire you for taking on the task!

Today I began another portrait, we will see where it goes! That is the fun of it!

All the Best,
Jean

The New Year



I have included a photo of all the snow we found in Kimberly over the holidays. The skiing was fantastic, truly a winter wonderland! My family and I had a great break and now it is time to get back to work! Yesterday I started a still life in watercolour.

Thank you for the comments Pastel Artist, it is always interesting to hear from someone working in a different medium. Good luck with your portrait. I appreciate the heads up with your problem manoeuvring the web site. I had no problem getting around the web site, perhaps the network was busy when you were surfing?
