Tribute, xc

Thank you for starting such an inspiring website/blog.  Illustration Friday gave me a new lease of life and the liberation of illustrating has renewed my zest for painting and creating.  To all the wonderful artists featured on IF and if I can't managed anything else during the week I still manage a small illustration with your weekly word - thanks.  Watercolour.
