I remember saying that many times until I finally decided to try my hand at this last year. I'm still kind of in awe myself when I take a step back and look at what I am accomplishing recently... I never thought I had this in me!
As I have noted elsewhere, Thanks Mel for giving me a reason to try, and to all of The Iron Maidens for allowing/encouraging me to paint them! And for allowing me to show off my progress here for your enjoyment!
And thanks very much for all of your compliments! I'll keep trying!
