"Great "painting". How do you keep the flys off it?
PS I said painting in commas as a joke, perhaps it could be a vegainting? It really is good and I appreciate your tutorials too"

Noni Bryant said… - Hi Len. I just saw your painting of the approach to Mullum............ over and over and over!!! I've got such a soft spot for Mullum.
It's gobsmackingly good!!! Gee you've got Chincogan! - Even though I saw you paint it, I couldn't believe it wasn't a photo!
Funny thing is, I was there last week, on my yearly visit, and actually thought of painting that view when I was on top of that hill!
You're doing very well with posting your videos on You Tube, and I wish you every success with them.
I've passed your hello onto Rhonda just now, when I gave her the link to this video.
Now, when I miss Mullum, I can just watch your video! :)

I Love my Painting Lessons Web Site.

If you are planning on assembling a website without the desired knowledge you are in for a long haul. A lot of information or tutorials about the subject are outdated and lead you up the wrong path; I do not know why they are still on the internet and at my age, nearly 70 it is not easy to learn all this new terminology, like HTML (good grief!!!)

At last It's finished.
For months I have been working on a website where beginners and artists can enjoy free step-by-step lessons and videos. The site now has about 20 short lessons and more coming. Please have a look and if you think the site worthy, you may wish to comment or tell your friends. This site is user friendly with no sign-in or hidden spam etc.

Marguerite replied to Marguerite's discussion *** May 2012 Drawing Challenge – Please Click Here to Enter the Challenge and Post Your Drawing *** in the group The Drawing Challenge"I just finished my Yorkie. She sure is a cute little critter. I didn't have the right colors (or wasn't successful in blending them), but I do like her anyway. It's done in Derwent Colorsoft pencil on 9 x 12" drawing pad paper.
