The First Post

After having thought of this day for so long, well, finally I'm there!. Though much needs to be learnt and I'll slowly be editing as I get the hang of it. My sincere thanks to everyone at Wetcanvas. The inspiration and guidance I received there was and will always remain invaluable. It has got me (hopefuly) started again where I left years ago.

This was done from an image taken from the RIL at Wetcanvas (my thanks to the photograper), using a mix of  pastels including Rembrandts, Rowneys, Derwents and a set of  Talen's which actually belonged to my mother. She tells me that her dad had brought it for her when she was in Art School almost 45 years ago!. The colours look as fresh as they were bought yesterday.
