New to doing this site, I figured out how to put you on my friends list.  Now I would like to be on your friends list also but don't know how to go about this.  Elsie

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, the paintings are acrylic and from your image behind the site, the stroke and buildup looks pretty much the same as mine.  The image starts from simple line drawings of actual places - I have hundreds of these.  I take a LOT of liberty with color and composition in the paintings.

 Will get to finish the site sometime soon.  Thanks again for the nice words.  Elsie

Love your work too!  Yes, the paintings are acrylic on canvas.  And taken from quick simple line drawings of many different places - I have hundreds of these. On the canvas, I take a LOT of liberty with the composition and color and other stuff too.

Thanks for the nice words.  Elsie

thanks for the recent comments.. I had my laptop with me when I was away and vented when I posted the autumn field painting - for the record.. that painting was done from a photo a friend sent me, in a town near where I got my speeding ticket but I did it last fall, I just thought it was funny that I had actually done a painting in a town I had never been to until this past weekend and to get my first speeding ticket ever in that town made me almost laugh, almost!

I am disgusted with my art sales - until something is sold and paid for its not sold, and I fear I will have to look for work outside of my art when I am back from spring vacation. I am tired of trying to justify my art as being worthy of all the time and energy and money spent on affording what I need to make more art without seeing the rewards of a paycheck in return. This year so far my sales are off and I dont see any of my hospital art opportunities gaining closure any time soon.  sigh.
