I was at one time an charter member for the Washington D. C. National Women of the Arts Institute..but haven't' kept my yearly membership up...should of joined one of the regional branches and I'd still most likely be with it. So goes "kid's and motherhood" as they say..keep you busy and last in everything also. I like all expressions of Art..take out the need in the world for money and most people are genius in some kind of expression...be it literary, musical, or crafts. |

Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | I love the work of Constable and have been to Suffolk quite a few times to see the places he painted which actually haven’t changed that much over the years. Also Joseph Farquharson, he is most famous for his fabulous winter landscapes, I have two of his pictures which I just get lost in. Charles Thornley is another favourite artist of mine, his seascapes are just brilliant. |
