Love to look at any art Krissy. Favourites ?- oh so many - from Klint, Dali, Turner, Constable - oh gosh, etc., etc., etc.

I teach painting to adults - so its very much a part of my daily life.  Also bring in all sorts of other crafts (as long as some painting is involved) from decoupage to mosaic to glass/ceramic/wood painting.  I will try to take a photo of my studio it will be quicker than words, lol

I would love to see your work Cathy!!! ( I kinda had you in mind when I started this thread!)

I got lots of art supplies for Xmas. I want to start but haven't been able to. I did start drawing a bit but...I have a lot of ideas my mind but can't seem to be motivated to put on paper.

motivated or scared of that nice white sheet?  So what if it doesn't work, its only a sheet of paper? Just tear it out, mop up the dog's puddles so its not been wasted, then toss it!  and have another go Laughing

Tried to copy and paste, I'll try again~! Ok apparently I can't paste if I'm in Firefox! This one also pasted in - I can see it now - but again much too big - so its gotta go! (so the paste button on the bottom tab tells me!) Will have to come back on Forum with Explorer.  See you!

No I am just too technically challenged for this, and I really don't like the way Explorer works in this site!  Firefox does have a page where they now try to explain how I can overcome this, but the instructions run off the screen on the right and there is no scroll bar! I Give Up (for now)
