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. My paintings are at http://www.peterhobden.com.My facebook page is PeterHobdenPaintings
