The steps in this issue apply to all versions of Painter, including
Painter 8, Painter IX, Painter IX.5 and Painter X.
"Ethereal" Portraits
I just remember you telling me years ago that you
were not an artist. I'm looking at the paintings that
you're doing now and I'm really impressed.
Your portraits have an unmistakable "ethereal" quality
that is very appealing.
Keep up the great work Karen!
