Revision is everything. I wrote on <a rel="nofollow">my blog</a> about how I learned in an oil painting class that this is also true about painting (at least with oils). You have to put paint on the canvas first, and then work with that. It seems like it might be true for many things in life. You have to start somewhere, and that start is hardly ever perfect.Robyn Rylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510195754917893035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004288060867455452.post-445624647673050282011-04-07T13:21:57.269-07:002011-04-07T13:21:57.269-07:00Deborah,
