My computer is doing what all computers do and playing up!

I did post a response but something obviously happened. Unfortunately there are lot of places for bytes to go missing in cyberspace.

First of all, thank you everyone and please feel free to chat, I love this kind of informal banter.
I was in Sydney when I joined up, but as I mentioned moved, the move was to Melbourne and the baby came 8 weeks later. Needless to say it has been a busy couple of years!

I have felt rather isolated so enjoy this Forum on both levels.

Thank you for your insightful comments and I definitely intend to put your well thought out advice to work. I have just signed up for a class and we get free choice every third week so I think I will use the time to attack this piece.

I have cast aside all commitments of late to work on a birthday present for my husband's grandmother of her late husband. Stay tuned, I should be posting it shortly.

I worked out that it is the first full portrait painting I have attempted in over two years. Boy am I rusty!

There are a few trouble spots but I will reveal all in due time!

Re: the licorice. Tell your friend that next time to forget the licore and bring you some real Australian delicacies such as Tim Tams, and anything that is Cadbury chocolate! No Treacle but better than any licore you will ever taste. If you are keen on the licore though, there are 'Bullets' - 2cm of licore dipped in chocolate.

Thanks all.
