hoping not to divert the thread but speaking of left-handed-ness, I've finally concluded my kid is left-handed and myself, being right-handed (except in hockey or in the batter's box), I find it a challenge to encourage him as to how to grip a paintbrush or pastel a bit more 'normally' than he's been doing...anyhow, a light bulb went on and I am now using a mirror reflection to show him by example and it work pretty good actually

I don't know if he'll be a left handed guitar player...I wondered if anyone has a left handed piano, you know, where the pitch gets higher instead of lower as you move to the left...a tuner is coming over tomorrow and for a kick I'm going to ask him if he can tune it that way (just to check out the blank look that should appear on his face )

ok, enough of that....all the best with the site and buyer bids, Liam!
(and I trust the image edit I toyed with is not perceived as a defacing of this masterpiece in the slightest)
That was pretty neat JJ. I would ask how you did it, but I wouldn't understand. I am impressed though.

When I learned to knit (and not very well mind you) I sat across the room from the woman that was teachng me. That seemed to help. I wasn't close enough to try to copy exactly, but I was close enough to see what she was doing and learn how to do it.

I agree about Ron being proud, Liam did a great job. Ron said that he had forgotten to do something for the raffle, or ran out of time and he quickly put this together. I was fortunate enough to get visitation rights with it last year. But Richard of Vancouver Island was the winner of the painting. I wish Liam much success in his artistic endeavours, he is so talented.
