I realized I need to stop putting off and making excuses for not getting more work done. I was sort of inspired by the http://www.nanowrimo.org site. So I went home ate a quick dinner, played with cat to try and tire him out (it didn't work), then started working with breaks when Garth needed attention or climbed my easel or bit my ankles... I'm not totally happy with it, but it's a start. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~saurg/Art-Garth/Art-Garth-Pages/Image0.html And the photo I used as a basis: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~saurg/Christmas2003/Christmas2003-Pages/Image15.html
