I just finished my first painting for a group called different strokes from different folks. http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/ Photos were exchanged by Karin Jurick who runs the blog and we painted and sent in our results. She has offered bi-weekly projects and has done an awesome job of organizing, posting and hosting the site. Anyway, I chose to do my painting in acrylic (I usually work in watercolor, or pastel), 5 x7 and hope the person I painted is happy with the result.
