Profile Information

Where are you from?
Originally from Texas. Now live in Oklahoma
What's your favorite medium (i.e. acrylics, watercolor, oils etc)?
Acrylic
How long have you been drawing or painting?
More than 3 years
Tell us a bit about yourself:
At the young age of 7, I was given a set of oil paints for my birthday. Although my first painting was no Rembrandt, I was fascinated and have been creating ever since.
I am mostly self-taught although I have taken a few classes in oil, and watercolor over the years.
My favorite medium is oil, but due to allergies to the fumes, I changed to acrylics and love them. They dry fast so I find them to be quite a challenge. My favorite subjects are landscapes, seascapes, pets, and florals.

The photo on my profile is a picture of my kid, my puppy (Littlebit). I took this picture after she had all her beautiful hair trimmed. I am currently working on her portrait in acrylics and I'm going to put more hair on her face. She's really cute with hair, but Shih-Tzu's hair mats terribly so I keep it trimmed in the summer.
I'll be adding some pictures and more info soon so check back.

Really excited about this new site. I've been watching Bob;s videos since he first came online. They have really helped. Painting for me is a constant learning experience. I can't wait for each day to try something new.

Update-It's almost Xmas time-Are you ready?

Hi all, The holidays are upon us and I have been so busy. I've been reading everyone's mail but haven't commented much. Please forgive if I failed to post a comment. I haven't had any time to paint or spend much time on the board, because for some odd reason, I got the bright idea of making all hand-made Xmas gifts this year, and of course, I wanted to start early. I am making ornaments and painting on teapots for the tea lovers in my family. And for some odd reason, I also decided to crochet… Continue

Thank you everyone!

It is so hard to keep track of so many members and friends on the site, so I want to thank everyone here for all the nice comments in case I failed to respond to some of you. You all have been so nice and encouraging. Sometimes, I get painters block, or want to throw a painting in the trash and never paint again, then I get on this board and am inspired by all the wonderful talented people here. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ALL!

Thanks again for the info, I'll check it out, I enjoy working with bright vibrant colors in an abstract way, trying to stay with color complements without too much concern for actual realistic renderings of things regarding thier colors.
