Nothing beats soaking these little treats in the milk until they are so soft that the cookie just dissolves in your mouth - although in this case, one of them never quite made it to the milk.

I found this old brick behind my garage and I was taken by the way it had been weathered by time. This painting is my first stab at portraying it in a painting...I am sure I will return to it many times in the future.</span><br /><br /><hr /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">This painting is available for purchase.

There is still some work to be done on my <a href="http://shanethomasart.com/">official website</a>, but the paintings will begin appearing tomorrow night at about 7:30 pm, MST.<br /><br />If you have not already done so, consider signing up for the email notification in the form over on the right column of this site. You will then receive an email whenever I post a new painting on this blog. Or, if you prefer, you may sign up via your favorite <a href="http://google.com/reader/">RSS reader</a>. (Don't worry, you will not receive any other emails from me...just a notification when a new painting comes online. See my <a href="http://shanethomasart.com/policies/privacy-policy/">privacy policy</a> if you have any questions.)<br /><br />Also, check out my new <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/APaintingADay/">Painting a Day page</a> over at <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/APaintingADay/">Squidoo.com</a>. It explains the whole painting a day concept and will help orient you to the movement.<br /><br />See you tomorrow!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3998738542675695138-3351111394640521293?l=shanethomasart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shane Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11131749721371690878noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998738542675695138.post-10236072494440835032007-02-20T22:18:00.000-07:002007-02-21T01:20:42.278-07:00It has been a long haul, but I am just about ready to launch.
