Happy new Year to everyone! I know that this year will be the best yet. I have lots of ideas to blog about and a new painting to begin the year with. Please comment and let me know what you would like to see and I will try to oblige you. I am going to experiment with different papers this year as well. The next painting I do will be on pastel mat. I am looking forward to painting on it. It has a velvety feel like the velour but not the same.

I invite you to visit my Pet Portraits site as well. Brand New! I think it looks great.  Let me know what you think.

Follow along with the next step by step.
