Hi Renee!
Yes ... I dragged my stuff out on the first cold day, not sure if I could get motivated to do anything, since my last 'painting season' was so frustrating. I set up my mast easel and a prepped canvas I had from March and started a self-portrait. No drawing, no practice pieces, no nothing. I just walked in cold and started it. It has turned out so well (so far) that I'm spending every spare minute at the easel or with my sketchbook. Kinda' strange, really. I haven't so much as touched a pencil since March or so, but the self-portrait is the best thing I've done yet (it's still just student work though). So, I'm getting back into drawing to ensure the self-portraits continue to improve with each piece.
How are you doing? I heard that you were a bit 'under the weather'. I hope you're feeling better, and thanks for saying 'Hi'.
