always, sometimes, never

The images below are part of a collab for Wordgoddess. Our assignment: "Always, Sometimes, Never" (use each word five times, any format). Also did some more experimenting with the Digital Watercolor set in Corel Painter 8 as well as portrait drawing from photo reference. I usually colour with Painter's Gouache, but I quite like the Digital Watercolours. They "dry" faster than the regular Painter watercolours and though they're not quite as realistic, they're more forgiving of mistakes. :-)

Received a nice e-mail yesterday from someone who recently stumbled across my Reading Lord of the Rings: A Final Attempt:

"I just happened to run across this today on an unrelated google search. I came in towards the end, but I immediately saw what was happening, and quickly found my way back to the beginning.

In short, it was wonderful. *Everyone* wishes they could read this book again for the first time. Your blog was literally the next best thing for me.

Although you wrote it nearly four years ago, I simply had to write you today and say 'thanks' for the entire effort. It was a great read.

Thank you! -- Charlie H."
