Catfat, I thank you as well for your very nice compliment. My fiance loves your work, as do I. I have to tell you we looked at the one painting, Asleep in the Meadow, for a very long time. She looks so much like me, and Jim said, "that's you." Wow. It's so beautiful, as are all your other paintings.

I haven't been at WetCanvas much, I need to take some time and familiarize myself with it more. There is such a wealth of info there.

Gracie, I love that! The colors of the flowers just jump off of it.

Thank you everyone. Art is a big part of my life, and I enjoy everyone else's way of bringing art into our lives.

Jaja, just look at what you accomplished after reading a book! I am in awe of the upside down drawings! The technique reminds me of my one and only art teacher, in college, teaching how to draw with never picking up the pen from the paper.

Urgrace, that is wonderful!!!
I grow geraniums and I think you have captured the colours perfectly.
Sage, glad you like the painting. It is also one of my favourites.

Urgrace, you say you are using pen & ink, is it a special ink? It looks almost watercolour-like. Or Inktense pencils and wash? I am guessing that those reds are quinacridones.

Okay Catfat, you are going all technical on me. I only took one art class - drawing. You made me go look up quinacridones! LOL It is just ink from Sharpie pens, and some finger painting on it, too. I've never done much watercolor. It scares me! LOL

Thank you and Lumbele for the compliments. As for hanging it, I'm going to get it matted and framed, then I might give it to my second granddaughter. I had her in mind while doing it.

Sage, interesting you should say that the painting looks a lot like you. That has happened to me before, I paint people before I have met them.
And Urgrace, if you can do that with fingerpaints and sharpies, I think you should treat yourself to a starter set of good watercolours. I think Daniel Smith makes the best colours around, and their prices are reasonable. And maybe some water-soluble pencils. You go, girl!!
Bright blessings

S.O.S. Calling All Artists!

I have a friend who is starting a fabric company and she's looking for an artist to draw sci-fi and fantasy type 'cartoonish' characters to appeal to the Science Fiction community. (She is dictating this post to me over the phone right now.) Basically she wants artwork 'tiles'. I have no idea what that is, but hope you guys do. What she's looking for specifically: Dragons, unicorns, penguins, bats, and cats in human positions and situations such as doctors, cheerleaders, jockeys, spacemen and space-bimbos. Ridiculous stuff where they act like humans even though they are animals or mythological creatures. For instance she'd love to see a MEDUSSA UNICORN, or a VAMPIRE PENGUIN.

Her email addy is annsquilting@hotmail.com

This is a Disney box I made. I think I put too much on it so it looks "Busy" But this was my 2nd project I had done

Super cute and fun, Grumpy! I'm partial to cool boxes anyway. At Christmas I like giving away presents inside of present-boxes. My grandchildren have keepsake "luggage" that their presents were once inside.

I painted everyone a little something and painted a little box to put each in. Turned out really cute.
