Thank you everyone. :) the painterly style is a lot more relaxing than meticulously detailing that I usually tend towards, at least when drawing from a photo.
Awesome "painterly" draw!! I really like this. This is the way that I want to be able to paint.....but I can't get the "hang" of how to do it correctly...."lol"! Great pic!! :)
