After a day of hesitation, I followed my own bravado into the breech. All these years of tracing images has left a mark. (You DO realize that was a mildly amusing pun... right?) Not till after I wrote it. Do get credit for it anyway? (No.) Sigh.... Anyway, the assignment in the book was to draw these various butterflies freehand and paint them. So I did it. Not perfectly. But adequately. Still working on that perspective thing.... But I enjoyed following her instructions on how to paint them. :-) I think I'm starting to have fun. That's always a good sign don't you think?
