I had a facebook contest this week-the 19th like got this pastel!!!!  I had so much fun checking to see who liked it and the winner was someone I didn't know in Florida.  I have decided to do this every once in a while as I got such a kick out of it.  I have also decided to keep trying to do the daily painting, as I am now done with the illustrations for the book, and am ready to do something other than happy cartoony art.  it was a blast though, and I learned a ton.  The best of it was envisoning pictures to someone elses words.  I hope I get to do that again soon
