Hola!

[blossom2]

Hello everyone.   It has been a long time since I've been able to access this site.  In the meantime I have moved from Canada to settle at the coast of Ecuador. (we are now retired)
 The lessons I had worked with on this site has helped me tremendously to improve in my painting skills and am looking forward to learning more!

Enjoy every moment of it

  Hi Blossom, welcome back!!! We are almost neighbours!!!     We are mostly in Guatemala with a few breaks to Belize. Congratulations on the retirement, I know you'll enjoy the change in scenery.
Can't wait to see what you've been up to. Do let us know if there is anything we can lend a hand with.

Thank you all for your well wishes!  It is beautiful here and the scenery has been beckoning me to paint.  So I have just finished my very first beach scene and am working on my second ocean/beach scene.  I have tried to post my paintings into my album but for some reason will not let me upload the pictures. (??)  Am I doing something not quite right?  Thanks for your help.........

First thing to check is the size of the image. Resize if necessary, 2mb is the max.  If you need a program to resize, try Faststone Photo Resizer. It is a free download (so you don't have to be online to use it) and very easy to use.
