Welcome New Subscribers!

Welcome to the more than thirty new subscribers since November to this humble, yet enthusiastic, art blog! I so appreciate your attention and hope hope hope I will not disappoint! Here is what I like to write about:

• Painting, of course
• Workshops I've been in
• Artist info and education
• Inspirations
• Travels & experiences
• Anything hilarious that's happened to me
• People I love

Using the criteria from ArtMuseContest, I fit into the Emerging Artist skill level:
To qualify as an Emerging artist you meet most of the criteria

• Are not actively taking painting classes or workshops (with the exception of drop-in model sessions and the occasional workshop every few years)
• May or may not be actively trying to sell your artwork
• May or may not be represented by a gallery
• May or may not participate in juried art shows and events
• May or may not have won an award(s) at a local art show
• Feel that your work is good but cannot compete with professional artists who have more than 15 years of painting experience.

​which essentially means I have lots of room for growth and improvement and that motivates me so much! I try to paint every day and definitely do something related to art every day and have now for several years. People say I am talented, but the truth is I am persistent. (the topic of a future blog post)

​​My modest goal is to blog at least twice a month. Rarely have I actually done more than that, so don't worry about getting slammed with posts from me. It's fun to blog, but more fun to be painting. One truly helpful thing you all can do for me is to leave comments on my posts, share blog posts on Facebook, give me feedback and let me know topics you'd like to read about. 

So, once again, welcome to the new subscribers and HUGE THANKS to ALL of you who read what I'm writing! Happy New Year!!
