A new medium

What a long and pleasant autumn we have had!  I am sorry that I had to spend much of it indoors as I was working for Elections Canada from mid-August to October 23rd.  Just as I finished that though I had a treat - a two day workshop in painting with oils.  It has been many years since I used oils... like about 45! The class was a good introduction to the medium and I look forward to learning more and producing a few worthwhile paintings in the near future.

In the meantime this is my "First Oil Painting" :-) after the tweaking finally stopped.  I have put it away to dry now and will try not to look at it for a week at least.  Need to get on with setting up a small studio in our newly renovated second story.
