Thanks for being very supportive everyone. I didn't have confidence in painting or sketching, I still don't have much confidence, it's an area, I'm limited on but expanding as much as I can. Since joining the site, your advice and words of support, have made me feel, well, yes, maybe I can paint and sketch a little, a long way to go yet I know. When you haven't done such arty things or had lessons, you have no means of measuring how you are doing or your progress. You have all made me feel I'm doing alright. Well, more than alright. I know I'm not a new artist any more, I've been painting and sketching for almost two years now this coming April but you are all an excellent sounding board for all new artist. A source of sound advice for everyone. A forum for good arty discussion and a very good crowd too. I ware my heart on my sleeve, you can tell can't you. When people support other people, everyone comes out a winner. Thanks all.

Well, chook - if we can't support each other, we're just wasting our time. As one who has taught others - sometimes wishing I were as good as they turned out to be - I can only say there is great pleasure to be gained from encouraging and guiding painters who might well end up in a better place than I've ever done: it's a privilege to help, and gives me great pleasure. I expect that's true of many of us. I think those of us who have been able to help you along the way are just delighted we've been able to contribute to your progress. You've received good advice, but what's more important is that you've heeded it: watching you learn and progress has been a genuine pleasure, and I'm sure I speak here for all of us who have tried to help you along the way. Now - how about teaching us, in return?!

For those who suggested a few air bubbles, I thought you might like to see. I've put a few in this morning, not to many, I put a couple in the net also. I also strengthened the colour of the orange line. The picture is 80 cm x 52 cm. Now I'm going to spend the afternoon doing a bit of cubism. Not that I can do it but I do like to try.
