No close ups! The painting was done free handed, and I'm just not as good as many of you are. But I've been having fun. More results in coming days.

David...I Like The Color Contrast! When I Paint Freehanded,

I generally try to "mast" the area right up to the edge. I
simply wait until the paint has well dried and gently pull the masting tape away and in most cases I get a real nice
clean line. Just a suggestion for future ventures. But what
the hey, you're having fun, right?! :))
