Edit: The texture looked terrible in the attachment, so I replaced it with a no-texture painting and posted a high res version with the texture on PBase.

Catherine...outstanding work. The ri res is especially attractive.

Yeah, Alan, she's that sort. Really nice portraits.

[Patricia]

Well, Cat's will be hard to beat . . . but, anyway, here's my effort. Such a lovely child, a pleasure to work on this one!

[raniday]

Thanks, Alan, Kiska, and Patricia. I've been working hard in Painter lately. If I live to be 200, I might just master it!

Finally pulled out a book to learn about Painter, as I have been unable to do anything other than make a mess with this program so far. So here is my first attempt using Painter after reading a few instructions. By nature am a feet in first person, and learn on the fly rather than read any documentation, reminds me of a tin of varish I purchased, that on the lid stated "when all else fails, read the instructions"
