I have had my eyes on using this one for a couple of weeks but was going to do it in pastel (and still might).

I am very pleased with how this went as I thought it might be beyond me and also wasn't sure the idea of the spilting the canvas in half would work.

2 weeks ago I set myself the goal of being able to paint as well as I can do soft pastel by next Easter. Unfortunately I am going to have to set myself a new goal very soon as this is about 85% there and also very close to the style I want to paint in. I thought my progress with pastels was quick but this has astounded me!!!!

I am also surprised to admit that my hating painted has turned into loving it!!!! It takes a lot more work to get what you want by constantly adjusting things but I like the way it comes together.

As always your comments are appreciated.
