Well I've never had a blog before but I've been told that it's something that I should have, so here I am. The main purpose of this blog is to showcase paintings that I've done over the past three years. And to help me get help and criticism on my works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly among the many things I do own, I do not have a scanner so most of the paintings have been taken with a poor quality digital camera. So the images will not always, (ever) compare to what is actually been done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks everyone&lt;br /&gt;~Smaxman&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3876513783126023812-4432997626280528318?l=paintingaround.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paintingaround.blogspot.com/feeds/4432997626280528318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://paintingaround.blogspot.com/2009/10/introduction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3876513783126023812/posts/default/4432997626280528318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3876513783126023812/posts/default/4432997626280528318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paintingaround.blogspot.com/2009/10/introduction.html' title='An Introduction'/><author><name>Smaxman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04561871881856427458</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yn8VhSrWHpI/StPq40WHjEI/AAAAAAAAAAU/O-wqusD2GGY/S220/S7302444.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
