Go Fourth....
I did not get to paint today.  I spent the morning, and half the afternoon installing and uninstalling from a faulty windows XP installation disc, and talking to the techies at Apple and Microsoft to help me with the partition and installation.  I made a 2 hr run to get a new installation disc so I can try again to install it tomorrow or Monday.  Why did I do that?  I want to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 to manipulate my photos to compose references for my paintings.
I already have that so if I partition, I will not have to purchase another software for photo editing on my Mac.  At least that is what the plan is.

The First Post

Welcome to my blog.  My name is officially Victoria, but I started out being called Vickie as a little girl.  I like the name Victoria so I decided to sign my work with my real name and also to let people know I preferred it to "Vickie" as I came of an adult age.    
I am an artist in a rural town in midwestern Canada, with a studio packed with my work.  I need to get my work out there.... I feel like I am running out of time and space.  So, with this blog, my plan is to publish my work to the wide world, a few at a time, with a brief statement about the work and maybe the process.
I am begining with the one I am working on most recently.  The painting is inspired by a morning in Thailand.  My daughter-in-law's mother goes to this park often during the week to exercise early in the morning.  We were thrilled with the outing, and returned a few times more while we were in Sakon Nakhon.

The painting is started on canvas with acrylics.
Well that is all I am going to blog for today.  I have made a start.  Thanks for being there and reading what I have blogged.
