Hi there - thank you for your kind words - most encouraging.  The portrait is a detail of a larger piece, but I liked it cropped as shown. Keep on painting - it is torture but the only way to go! Sarah

If there is an art club in your area, join it.  You would be surprised at what you can learn from other artists.   They like to share as well.

Just keep on painting, and drawing when ever you can..  I see something happening in your work.

Thank you for your kind comment. Still life's are not my favorite to do, but they are great for working on colors and composition. You have some really nice work here.

Hi gerebear! I didn't get to talk to you last week but THANK YOU so much for comments on my "Let Heaven and Nature Sing" one. You are SO gonna laugh, but that painting was supposed to be for our Christmas cards, but I'm terrible at getting too many projects started and then having my spinal cord injury rear it's ugly mug and slowing me down to just a stupid pace! Since I finally finished this painting well past the Christmas season, AND I'm usually late on the Christmas cards every year anyway, I've decided this year to send my entire Christmas mailing - in July! Yes, I'm playing the hell out of the cliche, but I figure, that way the people I don't get a chance to talk to throughout the year know I still love them and my close family will laugh like mad. Then I'll make at least a not-easily-forgotten impression on recent contacts, and scare the hell out of newbies.  Most importantly, I'll laugh my butt of, which is a good thing, my flat Indian butt looks verrry different from Crullabuns!  Thanks again, gere - - OH! I almost forgot - I LOVE "Deadliest Catch!"  How brilliant to put the on the wallpaper of your site. CYa, Sweetie! ...and hey, let me know if you want one of those Christmas cards
