New painting App

So, I still love Brushes, the natural media emulator for my iPhone,
but it has a few limitations. Foremost among them is the tiny size of
the images I can create with it. They look great on the phone itself,
and even in a small window on a computer, but they're way too small to
be printed.

So, I downloaded another painting app. It's called "Colors!" and it's
been around for the Nintendo DS for a few years, I believe. They
ported it to the iPhone and made some enhancements to it. It's not
quite as much a "natural media simulator" as Brushes, but it has one
advantage in that it can output a much larger, print-worthy file.

Now if only I could get good enough with Colors! To make a print-
worthy image! The image above was my first attempt.

Give me time; I'll get better...
