First Wash



Painting with water-soluble oil pastels, a figure that became sinewy with flesh tones, reds, greens and tree-trunk browns, while listening to "Alex," my computer's best voice, reading a long piece of writing by a young friend...

Highlight the text to be read, hit the keys you've set up to start the text-to-speech recognition, and voilĂ ! Free to work and listen to whatever you'd like in the big net-wide world.

  1. this is a very interesting painting Brenda.

    to me it almost looks like a different species of human being that lives in the sky and is preparing for flight.

  2. Boris, thanks!

    Who knows where this piece will end up, the beginning is always so different to when it's finished.

    I'm glad you're not irritated at how contrite I was!

    She also looks less bird-like now since part of her leg has insisted on being blue.

    Off to write as much NaNoWriMo as I can before sleep.

    hugs you dear young Russian-Aussie!

    how is this painting progressing so far Brenda? Or have you been giving most of your time to NaNoWriMo?

    I am still away on holiday so haven't been online much at all.

    take care

  4. It's not progressing at the moment, sigh. No reason I couldn't spend half an hour a day on it, or a few hours a week. Just lazy.

    Hope you're still enjoying your holidays, Boris!
