Marilyn Sholin's Blog

Welcome to the Painter Factory!

While it is daunting to learn another blog site, I welcome the challenge and Corels support for us.

I am on a quest to create new "self portraits" and it's one of the hardest tasks to paint oneself.

How do the rest of you approach that task? I am creating a number of paintings that are all from the same reference

and yet are each individually totally different. 

My old avatar is just that...old, but it has a certain fun about it I like. Now I am looking to still retain the fun but

change it up.

Would like to see more posting here also and will try to update more often.
