Hello,
My name is Margaret. My daughter, Karen, has persuaded me to start a blog. Everybody is doing it apparently!
I will be writing mostly about my artwork, though I have lots of other interests too. I find my artwork a challenge as I am a beginner.
I began painting and drawing in November 07 when I joined a part time art class which was held once a week.
Here is one of my first efforts. I hope you enjoy it! Have a look at his paws. Have you ever seen anything like this before. Not all cats look like this. So don't be scared.
Please leave a comment, and I will show you my next picture!
I am also signed up to Twitter now. So you can follow me there @createdineire
Wow, this is great, reminds me of my cat Naboo.
