You've probably noticed already that the Flower Portrait Project will be running for both April and May (closing date for submissions is 25 May 2008). There are a handful of reasons why, including ensuring no-one says they didn't have time to paint a real flower from life rather than a photo!

Another has to do with my traveling long distances with my laptop in May and not knowing exactly where or when I'll have Internet access. If you send me an email, please be patient, I will reply (and add your painting to the project gallery) the first opportunity I get. Okay, perhaps the second opportunity if the views are as irresistibly sketchable as I hope.
