ABOUT ME
While making a living from my art is an aspiration, my main focus and goal is to continue to explore and improve on my ideas and creativity. Teaching others to "see" the shapes and colors of the world around us has always been and continues to be a particular joy of mine. I feel that painting and drawing are a continuous process, not a means to an end. I am always surprised and a little disappointed when I reach the completion of a painting. The enthusiasm for my work and the creativity it evokes are continuously emerging and evolving. Please visit my website at: http://www.artfelt.com

THINGS I LIKE
The way color interacts, the love of Christ, how cats are, finding the joy in small things, passion, honesty, science and research, my family, art, Arizona skies.

THINGS I DISLIKE
Dishonesty
Negativity
Politics
Clutter

HOBBIES
Painting
Reading
Traveling

Thank you for responding to my feedback on your lion.  You inquired as to my favorite medium, I prefer oils.  I have tried acrylics and watercolor, but I still need to adjust things within the painting.  I am interested in some formal drawing classes and will look for something in my area.  If you have any recommendations for some texts or online options, please let me know.  Again, your lion was stunning.

About your poll: I feel the most important thing in good art is when it stops a passer by and tugs at their emotions.     me

Hi Judy.  I finally got connected today and have been browsing for an hour.  What fun.  This could be habit forming.  Now in reading your Books section I find that you liked Kite Runner also.  I cannot get over how good of a story that was and how he had me right in the middle of the country with the way he writes.  I also read Kabul Beauty School right after Kite Runner and that was interesting.   See ya Monday.

Hello!  I had to come back and see how you are. Look at your gallery again and be amazed.  I hope you are selling!  They are beautiful!  I loved the Kite Runner, too.  My Norwegian family gave me the book on my return flight, and I couldn't put it down.  Did you see the movie?  I haven't yet but I want to.  Well- off to make dinner-  Talk to you soon!    Deb

Hi!

 Thank you for your comments about my turtle.  I did it in tribute to my cousin who was an amateur herpatologist and had the sharpest sense of humor on the planet.  He died of brain cancer 14 years ago and I painted that in his honor.  It's always been one of my favorites, so I never sold it.

 PH Martin are labeled as watercolors, but they act more like inks.  They are brilliant in hue and much fun to work with.  They are extremely transparent and light fast but they are also extremely staining.  Once a color hits that board or paper, it's there for life.  Very difficult to pull back up, if you like to be able to do that.  I used Letramax 2000 illustration board, which is really smooth, but I think it would be easier to control if you used a clay coated illustration board with just a little bit of tooth. 

 You can't tell from an image saved at 72dpi, but I didn't do any washes on the turtle itself.  It was all done small brush cross hatched, layering the colors.  It was fun because they were so transparent, they dried so quickly that none of the combinations turned to mud.  Give them a try and let me know how you make out!

Artfelt I especially love your elephants,  you have captured an essence, an understanding, their majesty maybe.   Have you travelled to Africa?
