I have decided to take part in

Leslie Saeta's Challenge

30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting.

 

My first painting is one of two that I submitted to the
Quest Art Gallery in Midland, Ontario

for their upcoming exhibition.

 

'This community exhibition will work to showcase

a variety of mediums, genres and approaches

to note the strength and /or the fragility of the human form,

whether it be psychological, mechanical, cultural or scientific.'
