Hi Alison,
Just to touch base with you again about art-exchange. They basically charge a fee for how many works are listed on their site, then there is a 10 % commission on sales. If you participate in the shows there are separate fees for that. They are sending more information. Judy

It must be very cool to have your own gallery and paint with that ambience all around you.  The gallery to which I'm a member...that one is also artist/owner.   I love the excitement and creative energy that abounds in her place.  I wish I could spend more time there - she also has room for artists to come and paint, but I have reasons that I have to stay tied to my home studio to work.  Actually, to be truthful, I need solitude to paint.  It doesn't bother you to have people around?  Do you have to do much advertising and promotion to draw visitors?  Are you involved in your local area artists associations?

Thank you for viewing my new site and for the nice comments!  I work mainly in acrylics, and those complex pieces can take quite awhile...just making color decisions is time consuming!  But, it's a lot of fun and very rewarding.  How long have you been painting fulltime?  Do you own your own gallery?  I like the complements you used in the painting with the blues and oranges.  Color evokes so many emotions, depending upon how it's manipulated.  Have a great day.

I admire your skill with the palette knife. The emotions you experienced recording these scenes come through to the viewer. Snow and cold makes us glad to work in the studio doesn't it? jbradley

Nice work Alison.  Thank you for your comment on my work. I used Scratchboard on the black & white and Tempera & INk on the Tiger. The Ship and water was done on the computer. I take most of my pictures for reference.
