  1. JS, are you back from your around the world vacation of painting & eating!

    Welcome back!

    If this is your self-portrait, then I would say it looks somewhat Asian, strong, & soft.

  2. How nice to see you again! I think this woman looks Scandinavian, but then, I always claim the handsome people.

  3. Looks whose back! Doing a quick run through the blogs. Looking forward to my day working on ceramics. (I thought she was Asian)

  4. Literal in what you know and how you feel — and that is obviously a great deal.

  10. Hope all is well with you and yours this holiday season Jean.

    Thought I'd share my latest treasure. I asked and received a case of rapidograph pens with various sized points. I've got a Walter Foster book on how to draw cats and a black and white picture book of Siamese cats. I think that is where I'll start in my quest to get my drawing chops back.

    If any are good maybe I'll post them.
