# About me
My name is Pnina Osguthorpe and I'm known in several web communities as ArtPearl.ABOUT MY ART
I am focusing on painting with transparent watercolors on paper, yupo or silk.
Many of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people.
My favourite genre is surrealism, juxtaposing familiar elements with imaginary or abstract ones, in a dream like manner.
On occasion more than one way forward to express an idea or feeling suggest themselves. I like to explore these possibilities in different paintings and thus I have several ongoing themes.

Saw your post on Renderosity Vue forum 
B.t.w., if you are still interested in panoramas, you might be interested in exploring Unity, Unreal 4 and even Blender as tools.

It's a bit sad actually - met some very nice people on that forum, too bad about the few bad apples...
Thanks for the recommendations about alternative software. I am focusing on my traditional painting at the moment. Also my computer is a bit old so some newer software doensnt work on it...I might get back to it when I upgrade.
Cheers

Hi! I just got tagged for some journal questions , and I have to tag 10 other people. I'd be very interested to see your answers, but don't feel obligated to respond to this "tag." Hope your painting is going well!

Hi - No, sorry I dont do anything even remotely related to chain letters. I admit this one is fairly harmless, and your answers/questions are more interesting than the average I see around, but I'll stick to my general principle. Thanks for thinking of me though. Cheers
