The child is slumped in a I really don't want to be here pose ... but so realistic .. and I love the Scottish tartan - it's what it looks like to me - around her waist .. <br /><br />I'll try and get back to see the link - thanks for putting it in for us .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-72950964401482695982014-06-11T05:28:15.193-07:002014-06-11T05:28:15.193-07:00Thank you, Jo.

But creativity comes in many forms, techy people too. I am not a numbers person and I knew that, but now there is film and other mediums for kids these days.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-56509025398369967852014-06-11T05:21:18.964-07:002014-06-11T05:21:18.964-07:00I seem to remember that famous painters such as Re...I seem to remember that famous painters such as Rembrandt and before him used apprentices to fill in backgrounds and more of larger pieces. Would be interesting to research this topic. But I agree, hard to allow someone to touch your painting, I would. Suggestions yes, actually painting, no. But then writers use editors so. . .loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-37967123462640527912014-06-10T17:16:45.039-07:002014-06-10T17:16:45.039-07:00Wonderful colours.
