First Lick of paint

Started painting today. I am feeling my way as I go along. This is the first time I have tried using crayons for a painting.

The artist tools or "messy Mum" as my daughter says. I spent some of my early years being educated in America and a new box of Crayola crayons each "Fall Term" gave me much pleasure. A friend sent me a link to the American Crayola site as I was moaning that the boxes were bigger and better there.
