Steve

I'll try the trial for "Canvas 9" when I have the time to play with it. I already have "Photoshop Elements" and don't have a clue how to use it but I may take a course this summer from another area artist. The problem is that I would rather paint than learn how to use a computer program. I still have mega learning left on my camera, and consider myself in the "intermediate" level of painting so I put frustrating things on the back burner. I have a love/hate relationship with computers.

I lived through the reception tonight! One of the paintings I displayed was "Steve". Since Steve is a carpenter (home remodeling and additions) he decided to build his own frame. He's been hoarding some old cedar boards for a few years now and used them for this massive frame. I apologize for the quality of this photo, it's really very dark on the lower right and I couldn't seem to focus at all. Steve came to the reception tonight and was accosted by a group of people asking if he was in fact "Thee Steve"!!! He had fun and I was relieved.

Now all I have to do is get through Noah's demo tomorrow and I'll be able to breath again. Plan to spend the afternoon in the whirlpool!

Lost my attachment, I'll try again.
