Excited to get started on the About Face Quest!  I missed the first lesson yesterday because I was suddenly writing a song... well, you don't tell a song to wait, if you know what I mean. So today I transferred my face to canvas and will watch the video again before painting. I'm really looking forward to learning how to draw and paint faces! 

Any poetry fans out there? THIS is gorgeous and captures the beauty of snow - pure crystal snow. 

Vidual art and poetry are different sides of the same coin - and human expression is the coin, I guess. 

Enjoy: Crystal 

Okay... newbie question... is it tacky or wrong to give a painting as a gift without a frame? I'm having a hard time finding enough of the size I need to afford so many and it's really bumming me out. Sigh. 

Hooray! LOAD MORE loads more! Thank you to whoever worked their magic! :) 

CUBS or INDIANS? 

I cannot concentrate for anything today. Ugh. Maybe I should paint and give the other side of my brain a turn. ;) 

@shingylee I love your Jack o Lanterns! I need to carve mine this weekend! I bought one just for old time's sake.... :) 

Thank you, @bethb, for the positive energy! It's on my other page now -
