I am creating a number of paintings that are all from the same reference&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and yet are each individually totally different.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;change it up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would like to see more posting here also and will try to update more often.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://painterfactory.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=702" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Marilyn Sholin</name><uri>http://painterfactory.com/members/Marilyn-Sholin.aspx</uri></author><category term="painter selfportrait" scheme="http://painterfactory.com/blogs/marilyn_sholins_blog/archive/tags/painter+selfportrait/default.aspx" /></entry></feed>
