Paint a Picture Worth Framing (read all 23 entries…)
Last night 22 months ago

I made some progress painting much of the background of my latest, which is based on a photo I took of a lighthouse in Door County, WI. Art Therapy is awesome, even when you’re not much of an artist – I so love it!

Thanks

for the encouragement! It’s just so much fun, isn’t it?

I think there might have been a NYC meetup, but my nose has been firmly placed to the grindstone, and I was certainly not there, unfortunately. Anyway, if I could afford to go somewhere right now, it would be tropical, not NY!

The background

is looking good. You must show us when it is completed. Deal?

Only

if you promise not to laugh. I’m just a rank amateur, ya know?

Never

I only laugh at my artistic abilities.

And when

might we be able to see YOUR artistic abilities? You write so well, I’m sure you excel at visual arts, too.

Not really

the only visual part of me is what I like to feast my eyes on. Not necessarily what I can create. Although, if one would pick my mind…well, probably shouldn’t go there.

Wow, that looks great

Are you painting in acrylics or oils?

I’ve just started pastels and I agree with you it’s so much fun… my m-i-l today has found some acrylic paints and brushes she’s no longer using so i may have to give that a go.

I'm using

acrylics – I had bought a bunch for my painting class at the local art gallery last year. I really like that medium, and agree – you should try it. And thanks for your kind words.

My M-I-L just gave

A tin with acrylic paints in it, and a whole bunch of brushes and so I’ll definately be having a try now, she said I could have them.
