Hi Carol, as Heather has stated....a very happy and pretty little girl! What some people will do to get out of painting hair is amazing! lol You have done very well on the features and in catching the light on the cap and bubbles and I like the few…
Hi Carol.
Yes I have not been to well bit troubled with ny nerves and have developed a bit of a fear of going out over the door and been very derpressed with it all. but with medication and help I am now getting starting to feel a little bit better and just been reading up on art and bought myself some new stuff so hope to get into a new frame of mined soon, hope you are well and painting your little fingers off.
Many thanks Carol for you kind words regarding my 'United' picture. It is very much appreciated. It didn't take too long to do once the basic design was worked out. It is based on a single drawing which is hexagonal in shape. (you can see this faintly in the photo at several places!). In the centre there are three heads/helmets pointing inwards with the Scottish flag on the breastplates underneath.On three of the points/angles of the hexagon there are three heads/helmets with the English flag on the breastplate whilst on the other three points/angles and sides of the hexagon there is only half a head/helmet and breastplate representing the Irish element (this is actually painted in gold but turns out a funny colour on the photo!!- probably due to the flash from my camera). I therefore did several hexagon shapes all exactly the same , then cut them out and joined them together stuck down on to a large piece of card (so that the Irish sides came together to complete each of those figures). I could have made a lot more individual hexagonal sections and therefore increased the overall size as it lends itself to go on 'ad infinitum'!!

Elena,
I'm happy to continue the challenge. I feel I have learned a lot by doing the challenge paintings for the past year, and think it's only fair that I start giving back. I am also willing to share the duties. If you have a photograph that you…
