I purchased my laptop in the January sales this year and I must say I find painting a whole lot easier than computing. I lose files and have to bring in the 'other half'' to sort me out. I havn't learned how to post my paintings on the gallery yet or given other members the doubtful pleasure of seeing a photo of me. Hopefully things will improve before too long and I will be able to join in properly as I really love Painters online. I am now planning an acrylic painting of a friends yacht which is based in Maryland, USA. I have a number of photograghs for guidance but this is going to be quite a challenge so wish me luck!.
