Now in focus, not that it helps 😁

An early update to test Jonathan Freitag's method of getting Blogger to update feeds for new posts.

  2. Very nicely done, you are nearly there, but I wouldn't make Christmas a target, I have tried that before and it just makes the painting experience a grind.

    Glad to see you got the blog thing working again.

    1. Thanks Norm. I agree. It is only a soft target, too many things will take over if it gets to be a chore 😁
      Just following Jonathan's instructions and it worked fine.

  9. Not sure anyone had the gumption to call him Artie to his face! But you can.. threaten to paint him captured by the French. Keep up the good work.

    1. Thanks Simon. Maybe they didn't call him Artie because they called him Nosey 😂
