Bye and thanks

Spring is here and we are in the final stages of packing up for our trek north. There will be no more time to paint through the busy summer months so the paint gets packed away too. Thank you bloggers. As a beginner, knowing there was sombody "out there" helped a lot.
A special thanks, Brian. This forum is wonderful. See you again in December.
Hope you are all still here when I get back!
Have a great summer everyone.

I tried to use more paint in this picture since I've been tending to apply it rather thinly but for some reason I'm not entirely pleased with the effect.
