Thank you so much Margaret – here is the link to “http://pencil-painting.ning.com/photo” – they would love your work there and I would love to see you there. It is a group of Pencil artists who encourage each other and display their work. I know it can be time consuming maintaining all these sites, but I find the networking and community of artists so inspirational.
