I am a painter. I am enchanted to be a painter. I discovered painting late, after more than 20 years as a computer developer and project manager.
This is a journal of my painting as it unfolds including differents stages in the painting process from sketch to finished painting.

And how I am thinking of changing it:
head slightly more tilted forward and eyes looking down a bit more.
