Wow...you ALL did such a wondferful job.  For those that said they had boo boo'd....there is no sign of that!!  They are all beautiful..so many delightful colors, and such cute lil faces, too! They are all keepers.

Goodmorning Dennis,

I just wanted to let you know that i really enjoyed the Dragonflylesson and even i didn't paint along i did draw the Dragonfly that day lefthanded, that allready was a big challenge. I have finished it a few days later lefthanded and i am realy very, very happy with it. I hope i will be able to paint more, but for now i have to deside if i do my operation. It is difficult because they don't know if my wrist will heal good or that it even get worse. I have to make my desision this weekend and i still dont know if i go for the operation or just live with my wrist as it is now, but i know that, whatever i deside, i will be able to paint and not that bad too, i think ^_^.

Here's my Dragonfly, i think you missed it in the topic, but I just wanted to share my first lefthanded painting and hope you like it and what of you think of it. Right now i am not in the position to buy anymore lessons, live is still very hard right here, but i still have the Wood and Stone lesson, and besides that i can use the templates you uploaded, and with all the paintings of all the members i will have a great 'book' of inspiration.

Have a great day and a nice weekend, as for all of you my dear friends,
Riya

You have very good control with your left hand, Riya.  You can be very proud of this painting.  I think it's as good as anyone would do with their dominant hand.   :congrats:
