HOME Thursday, November 03, 2005 A Beginning I'm picking up the paintbrush tonight; gonna begin a creation, spread colored oils over a prepared canvas that is graphed, with a lightly-drawn outline of an autumn scene.  Wish me luck.  I need it. I haven't painted in years. Also in the works: my second column for MiPoesias.    8:13:33 PM   | COMMENT [] | Blog banner taken from the oil painting "The Departure" (40"x 30") by Michael Parker, 1999.
