Hi Guys,

It took me about 40 min. to figure out how to get back on this blogger wagon! I might have inadvertantly sent you all some eblogger message thing, in which case, my apologies. I haven't contributed any illustrations yet but I did want to share an oil painting I finished recently. The hands are meant to represent either receiving or giving a gift. I definitely need to adjust the colour on my computer screen so I'm not sure if you fine ladies will be seeing this in the appropriate colouring. Anyway, I love what I'm seeing on the blog (but man, that's an ugly word).
