Teeny update...

I painted today! For hours!!! buttersideup try not to faint! And I swear I'll finish this painting as soon as I can - I cannot believe I've been so slow! ::is pathetic::

For anyone wanting a laugh, I can recommend White Trash Christmas. Rather late I know, but still funny!

Congrats! So are you talking about oil painting? If so, do you have any pictures of your work posted anywhere? ::still in viewing mode after checking out two Starving Artist-type art sales this weekend::

Only acrylics I'm afraid. I've never painted in oils and now (with small children) it's completely out. The only picture I have uploaded is this one, a watercolour I did for my mom. It shows her and Little Miss M baking. :)

Ohmigosh, elisi, that painting is wonderful! Seriously. Everything from the soft colors and subtle contrast between light and dark in Little Miss M's shirt to the raggedy edges and unusual composition. It's a gorgeous watercolour.

Oh man, I'd love to have half your talent. Don't look now, but I think I'm insanely jealous. ;-)

Aw thank you! ::blushes::

And I can't take credit for the composition, since I 'copied' it off a photo (it's actually Little Miss M and my mother. She (my mother) had asked for a watercolour for her birthday, so I thought something with a grandchild would be nice.).

But then you write way better than me (and you can write a really good Buffy too!), so I guess it goes both ways. ;)

Uh-uh. Beg to differ.

(and you can write a really good Buffy too!),

Oooh, thank you! :-)

so I guess it goes both ways. ;)

We're a regular mutual admiration society! Heh.
