Description For a long time after I painted her, I kept her where I could see her. She seemed to speak to me of creativity, my MUSE.

I still remember your first message to me like it was yesterday!

after one month of thinking uhh, that was a time, I recognized that similarity in the face of one Irish singer from a band CORRS - Andrea Jane Corrs, very nice girl.

She is very beautiful. Her expression gives off a sense of mystique and a hint of mischievousness. It's amazing that it's done in watercolor. (To me it is a hard medium to use due to it's lack of forgiveness when making a mistake.) I can see why she is your muse.

About watercolor, I didn't know any better!

I took only one art class, just a little simple community group deal.

Watercolors were the only supplies I had, so I worked (and worked, and worked) with it.

All my color paintings are watercolor, except the one that looks like stain glass, called "A Mother's Heart" I liked the pastel, but it was too much dust for me. I'm thinking I'd like to try oil pastel.

Right now I am trying to organize a studio space in my house. Can't wait to have that!

Thanks for the compliments on Muse, and on my technique. People who have not tried watercolor have no idea!

I have actually given myself a stitch in my side, like when you run too long in gym class

...I made painting a strenuous sport!

So thanks for taking time to write

I need to catch up on a few things here, and then I will visit to see what you do.

Wow, only one class?! What you have must be talent or hard work... or both!
I've worked with pastel and I remember feeling like I would never get the dust out of my skin pores. I've also worked with oil pastel and I prefer it to chalk pastel. It's much more fun blending colors with it. Plus you don't have to rub your fingers raw.
And while I haven't given myself a stitch, I have made myself half paralyzed with pain due to being in some weird awkward position to get a painting done.
I hope you like the art I have posted in my gallery when you get to it!

Not real person, but a reference to work from, or begin with.

CELEBRATING my one week anniversary as one of the dA community.

NO plans to go anywhere. I do have to get back to an old habit of mine. Sleep. At least, eventually.

Hope the travels are great, drop by when you return. See what I get myself into by then.

Be good in Spain, and enjoy the sun. I live in sunny Florida, --- not so sunny this summer. At least no drought, for sure!

Makes them happy.
