The yellow is raw sienna and was also used as the first layer on the nearer leaves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-2658893693121376184?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/2658893693121376184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=2658893693121376184&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/2658893693121376184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/2658893693121376184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2011/08/plumerias-august-11-2011.html' title='Plumerias: August 11, 2011'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yH5TM9KKc9o/TkXnIeq85XI/AAAAAAAAB7k/gqG_ZGWBoVY/s72-c/Plumerias%2B%25281%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-3224883717903550593</id><published>2011-08-12T20:44:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2011-08-12T20:48:02.307-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal'/><title type='text'>Zebra: August 11, 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5m697T9rVo/TkXluByVdUI/AAAAAAAAB7U/Twjhmmj6owo/s1600/Zebra%2Bcard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5m697T9rVo/TkXluByVdUI/AAAAAAAAB7U/Twjhmmj6owo/s320/Zebra%2Bcard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640166687267714370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is a 5"x7" watercolor on watercolor paper.

It will be included in the &lt;a href="http://www.montanawatercolorsociety.org/"&gt;Montana Watercolor Society's&lt;/a&gt; raffle book this year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-4725559289973522779?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/4725559289973522779/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=4725559289973522779&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4725559289973522779'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4725559289973522779'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2011/06/plumeria-june-14-2011.html' title='Plumeria: June 14, 2011'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vTnhb455KBo/TffRUWnxJLI/AAAAAAAAB7E/eF8YJae5Od0/s72-c/Plumeria%2B%25283%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-8538776225237203873</id><published>2011-06-14T09:14:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2011-06-14T09:25:53.465-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floral'/><title type='text'>Plumeria: June 5, 9 &amp; 13, 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1VAHTGVujG8/Tfd9THlPL2I/AAAAAAAAB68/viGgdWzoIhg/s1600/Plumeria%2B%25281%2529.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1VAHTGVujG8/Tfd9THlPL2I/AAAAAAAAB68/viGgdWzoIhg/s400/Plumeria%2B%25281%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618096827574202210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6ytvzML8mY/Tfd9S52Ae2I/AAAAAAAAB60/2cPRBE-GQ3U/s1600/Plumeria%2B%25282%2529.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6ytvzML8mY/Tfd9S52Ae2I/AAAAAAAAB60/2cPRBE-GQ3U/s400/Plumeria%2B%25282%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618096823886445410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is a 7"x9" watercolor. My goal at the beginning was to create great depth to the "busy" scene. Usually when I paint a subject, I like to greatly simplify the area around it. This time, I wanted to leave in all the vegetation. In order to cut down on that busy-ness, I am painting the most distant parts of the plant with more diluted paint and as the objects become closer, I am adding more vibrant color and more detail. Right now it looks like a jumbled mess so I'm curious to see how it comes out when the flowers (the last and closest parts of the painting - the focus) go in.&lt;br /&gt;These are two images of the painting in progess: the very beginning with the farthest vegetation and then one with closer leaves and branches with more detail.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-8538776225237203873?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/8538776225237203873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=8538776225237203873&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/8538776225237203873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/8538776225237203873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2011/06/plumeria-june-5-9-13-2011.html' title='Plumeria: June 5, 9 &amp; 13, 2011'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1VAHTGVujG8/Tfd9THlPL2I/AAAAAAAAB68/viGgdWzoIhg/s72-c/Plumeria%2B%25281%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-8900579855666175397</id><published>2011-06-02T08:32:00.005-06:00</published><updated>2011-06-02T08:49:06.055-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Studio Tour &amp; Workshops</title><content type='html'>This weekend my studio will be one of 26 participating in the &lt;a href="http://www.artistsalongthebitterroot.com/"&gt;Artists Along the Bitterroot Studio Tou&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artistsalongthebitterroot.com/"&gt;r&lt;/a&gt;.

This is my first painting using Golden OPEN acrylic paints and I'm  really enjoying them.  OPEN acrylics stay wet longer giving a longer  "open" working time.  This allows for better blending much like oil  paints, but they don't take quite so long for the finished painting to  cure.  Normal acrylics dry almost too fast in this arid Montana climate.   With the OPEN acrylics I can really slow down and enjoy the process.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-7331676439565569973?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/7331676439565569973/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=7331676439565569973&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/7331676439565569973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/7331676439565569973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2010/09/chief-mountain-in-progress-september-29_30.html' title='Chief Mountain (in progress): September 29-30, 2010'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/TKU-8nA_blI/AAAAAAAAB2Y/nyTSwSEh-rU/s72-c/Chief+Mountain,+Glacier+NP+%281%29_edited-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-8817225327375800917</id><published>2010-09-30T19:27:00.014-06:00</published><updated>2010-09-30T19:49:54.579-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Painting Something Else: September 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/TKU94NlSKxI/AAAAAAAAB2I/AKYbTclzmCY/s1600/P1380257.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/TKU94NlSKxI/AAAAAAAAB2I/AKYbTclzmCY/s320/P1380257.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522888553967790866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This was my most recent painting project.  It took a few weeks and required a little help from my parents and my son, who can be seen in one of the photos.  I painted the exterior of my house - two coats of latex.  My husband and I have added on to our house, including my future studio.  The interior photos are the unfinished studio.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/TKU8YRnBwjI/AAAAAAAAB1o/aUnMG33YT1o/s1600/P1380221.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

It has been quite a summer!  I spent quite a bit of time preparing for my art show at River's Mist Gallery which was in July.  Then I did a gallery talk, my first one ever, on the 16th of July.  I've been so busy with other summer and family activities that I haven't had much time to paint, but I'm getting back into it.  This is the first of a few illustrations that I am doing for someone.  It is called, "Peculiar", 9"x12", painted in acrylic.  It is still in progress.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-4007766411421810088?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/4007766411421810088/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=4007766411421810088&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4007766411421810088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4007766411421810088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2010/08/peculiar-in-progress-august-19-2010.html' title='&quot;Peculiar&quot; (in progress): August 19, 2010'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/TG3a8kscFgI/AAAAAAAAB0A/74xwI2kfl48/s72-c/Peculiar+%281%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-1901823269607581408</id><published>2010-07-10T17:28:00.019-06:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T18:31:48.576-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='watercolor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mural'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commission'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='acrylic'/><title type='text'>400th Post:  July 10, 2010</title><content type='html'>This is my 400th posting on my blog! My first blog entry was on &lt;a href="http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2007/04/pineapple-april-20-2007.html"&gt;April 20, 2007&lt;/a&gt;, with a painting of a pineapple. My goal was to paint and record a painting a day.  After a good year of painting almost every day, I had quite a collection of small paintings. I highly recommend any artist, quilter, writer, singer, etc., to do a small piece of their work every day because I saw a definite improvement in my painting skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My blog now shows larger works and projects that I am working on.  I have neglected my blog for the past month in preparation for a big art show, my first in a real gallery.  I've shown one or two pieces in galleries before but not my whole body of work.  My work has mostly been shown in coffee shops and restaurants which are great venues for art.

I designed the mural in &lt;a href="http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2010/05/mural-and-painting-addition-may-21-2010.html"&gt;May&lt;/a&gt; and drew it onto the 8'x24' wall.

These murals were designed by local high school students.  Each image showcases Bitterroot Valley themes: a cow, an elk, bitterroot flowers, an osprey with a fish, a teepee, and the St. Mary's Mission.  A few of the murals include our beautiful mountains.  The murals will be displayed on the exterior walls of River Park Storage in Stevensville, Montana.  Soon, you will be able to see them as you drive by along the Stevensville Cut-Off Road.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S8KL7UUTVEI/AAAAAAAABtw/itNU-ZJfAw4/s1600/P1350268.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left;

I have been looking at it for awhile and just was not completely satisfied with how dark it was.  I wanted the leaves to pop more than they were so I brightened them up and also worked on the flowers which are now 100 percent better.&lt;br /&gt;      My next painting is "Oasis", another rock and plant painting, the same size as "Perseverance", 20"x30", and also in oil.  I started with an acrylic under painting just to cover up all the white.  Unlike "Perseverance", I drew in the plant shapes at the beginning.  I'm hoping this will make things move along more smoothly.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S4YBA0SYSJI/AAAAAAAABoo/Ey5Jm9QR4TE/s1600-h/Oasis+%282%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S4YBA0SYSJI/AAAAAAAABoo/Ey5Jm9QR4TE/s400/Oasis+%282%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442038313271183506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S4YBBtsGU_I/AAAAAAAABow/QCVC4GcHEt0/s1600-h/Oasis+%281%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S4YBBtsGU_I/AAAAAAAABow/QCVC4GcHEt0/s400/Oasis+%281%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442038328679879666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-5745385432630493261?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/5745385432630493261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=5745385432630493261&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/5745385432630493261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/5745385432630493261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2010/02/oasis-in-progress-perseverance-again.html' title='Oasis (in progress) &amp; Perseverance (again): February 24, 2010'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S4YA6MahhoI/AAAAAAAABog/46k15MeacpI/s72-c/Perseverance+%2811%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-6593062557825130956</id><published>2010-02-13T08:30:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2010-02-13T08:35:20.460-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='still life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='floral'/><title type='text'>Perseverance (more complete): February 12, 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S3bGkY36hjI/AAAAAAAABoY/1iCw_7enyuw/s1600-h/Perseverance+%2810%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S3bGkY36hjI/AAAAAAAABoY/1iCw_7enyuw/s400/Perseverance+%2810%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437751928551015986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"Perseverance" is really done now!

At the beginning of the class, the instructor, Mike Mickelson, our local high school art teacher, does a critique of our artwork.  There are 11-12 artists taking the class.  It's very inspiring to see the skill level of the artists and interesting to see what subject matters they choose to paint.  After Mr. Mickelson imparts some of his wealth of artistic knowledge, we paint for the remainder of the time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5476819624103121054-4693620385954571307?l=kianafecteau.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/feeds/4693620385954571307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5476819624103121054&amp;postID=4693620385954571307&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4693620385954571307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5476819624103121054/posts/default/4693620385954571307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kianafecteau.blogspot.com/2010/02/perseverance-in-progress-february-1.html' title='Perseverance (in progress): February 1, 2010'/><author><name>Kiana Fecteau</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11909451712005008271</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/SMVPf3L7m5I/AAAAAAAAA1E/lt6F0O7W1B4/S220/P10803911_edited-2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S2ibrSLZ5yI/AAAAAAAABnw/09cORZBeE4E/s72-c/Perseverance+%285%29.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476819624103121054.post-5827743837866701722</id><published>2010-01-30T20:28:00.004-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T20:33:57.799-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='still life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='landscape'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bird'/><title type='text'>Perseverance (in progress) and Sentinel: January 30, 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S2T5sy3xRSI/AAAAAAAABno/ODhioOEVhYk/s1600-h/Perseverance+%284%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sRdOxIvBjRM/S2T5sy3xRSI/AAAAAAAABno/ODhioOEVhYk/s400/Perseverance+%284%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432741598480909602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I did some minor changes to "Sentinel", mostly to the raven as well as some highlights on the tree.
