I've been looking at the poor first drawing for a long time telling myself that I can do better, but I was still hesitant over trying it again for fear of not doing so well. LOL. Glad I did it though.

It's useful to be able to see how we've progressed, but sometimes earlier work doesn't seem as bad as we thought it was either.<br /><br />All the best for 2014.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-34880350157159940332014-01-06T08:43:43.228+00:002014-01-06T08:43:43.228+00:00Thank you Catharina.

Congratulations! I hope your christmas and new year was great. Before ending this comment:<br />I have a small question about adding a picture as a link. You have done it in your blog, so I though I should ask. In one of my latest posts I show a painting of my swans. I would like it to lead to a page were I explain how to buy a painting from me. But anyway I do it, It only leads up to showing the painting in a larger size. It doesn´t lead to the page I want it to lead. I don´t know what I do wrong. How did you do it?Catharina Engberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954431421201427239noreply@blogger.com
