Natural Way to Paint - Just received the excellent how-to art book The Natural Way to Paint by Charles Reid. He's represented by the Munson Gallery and The Artist ColonyThis drawing is a self portrait from one of the first exercises in which one does a contour drawing by starting in the center of the face and moving outward, rarely moving the pen from the paper. It gives a surprisingly acceptable image.

Learned that two of three works were accepted in the Small Works Exhibition sponsored by the local art league, Seated Female and Reclining Female. Alas, no awards.
