All Change

Hi all, you may have noticed that I haven't been keeping up with my artistic challenge. Well to be honest, I've been doing some drawing and painting but have lacked the time to do any blog posts about it.

My problem is that I have too many blogs. Besides this one, I have two others and they are consuming to much of my precious time. However, the solution is simple I'm going to knock this one on the head and move it to my author's blog at www.georgefmason.blogspot.com 

I'm not doing much writing at the moment so I can talk about painting in stead. So if you want to keep up with my artistic challenge please click on the link.

By the way, you may recall that I entered a one of my painting into a competition just for a bit of fun. It was called Damsels and to my amazement it won a prize.
In fact, the prize consisted of a choice of videos about painting. I picked one by a nice artist, Siriol Sherlock called "Botanical Illustration". I have no intention of going down the botanical painting route, but I though it would be a good step to learn how to paint flowers properly before trying to paint them loosely if that make sense.

I have also sent off for some Arches paper, which is supposed to be very good, I will let you know how I get on soon.

Hope to see you soon at the new address.
