Dear Everyone:

I have been playing the last day or two.

I received a new digital camera

as a hostess gift this week. The camera

is mini and is wallet-size. This makes

it very portable. A Nikon it is model

CoolpixS570. So far my impression

is that the richness of colour and fineness

of clarity are exemplary.

See some of my first shots.

Then I have been playing with different
brands, colours and viscosities of acrylic

paint in preparation for taking a course

next week. See abstract012010 for

a new piece with some of these paints.

I'm not taking these pieces

too seriously. So far, I favour

Pebeo brand extra fine artist's

colour from De Serres. It glided on

smoothly and seemed to have a

bit of a sheen to it.

Have a light-hearted day

today.

Helen.
