My latest blog post, on my Blogger page, talks about cropping a painting. There are also quite a few other useful posts, back through December, which some of you might find helpful. It seems a bit daft to repeat them here, so I am using this blog as a way to remind about my main, personal blog! The previous post is about directional marks - a useful thing to think about, and there is also a post about my choice of camera ....I know it is a personal thing, but I have good, ARTIST'S reasons for choosing the camera I use, and I share those with readers. Do check out these posts, just in case there is some information of interest there. www.jackiesimmondsartyfacts.blogspot.com I also now have a Facebook page, and I contribute to the group "Passionate about Pastels" on Facebook, where you can find all sorts of interesting works to look at. Happy New year to all and sundry. Jackie
