Friendly toe hopping shouldn't get a too riotious
response; maybe it is what we need to hear from some
of our other member, who probably can push some
serious drawing implement! Generally there is only
about a dozen of us filling up these pages...
Formal training sure helps (I learnt a lot from the
tiny bit I did), but practice is definitely the
answer.
That brings my thoughts to paint - here's a picture
concept. Jim trying to paint his new house with the
skunk girls "helping" him. Three white skunks?
Painting envolves all sorts of interesting tools that
can be "played" with. Maybe even Des could help get a
"handle" on the situation.
Maybe I'll go now before I start to think my attempts
at humour are funny...
Scrapper, Black Dragon who ought to be doing something
else on his holidays besides cruising groups...
