I think this chimp is some of your best work yet. Outstanding!

Foul!

Wait a minute! My DH dragged me out of my studio to go for a drive right after that challenge. Yes, Dawn, you do have to use green in your floral portrait. That was the whole point! In fact, I thought you were going to do a portrait of something green.

I on the other hand am going to paint my DH is shades of green. He deserves it for dragging me away from WC! when it's been down for two days!

Believe me Mikki, there will be something green (well I hope so) ...... but I thought on past attempts perhaps Id be best off doing something with NOT so much green in it hee hee... you know little by little

- Thanks gmc ...... love roses too , have never drawn one before nor painted one - so I class this as a hard challenge along with it having green in it too
