My number one favorite musician is Peter Gabriel, however I listen to quite a variety of music from classical to jazz, some other favorites are Annie Lennox, Indigo Girls, Paul Scwartz ARIA and ARIA 2, Julia Othmer I could go on and on...

I am currently reading Jack White's books about how to make a living as an artist-they are wonderful. You can download them from www.senkarikstuff.com if you don't have them already.

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite.

I have been practicing art from the moment I could pick up a pencil. Painting and drawing is my lifelong passion. I love the energy I get from the act of creating. I have just returned from the Artexpo NYC 2008 and it was great experience! I made some sales and I was picked up by a gallery in Marblehead, Massachusetts. I made lots of new contacts who I have been and will be following up with for the coming weeks! My beach scenes were a big hit! Check out my website www.heatherrippert.com

Art, The Beach, my family, friends, my cat Rona, great food, great company, and rich and meaningful conversations!

Rude people. People who don't tip servers 20% or better. Arrogance. www.art-exchange.com

Reading, photography, fishing, traveling.

Thank You for your kind comments about Rumi's Trees.  I was looking at your gallery yesterday and enjoying the way that you handle the shadows on the sand. Absolutely beautiful!  I see why they were successful at the expo.  Congratulations on that. Sounds like your on your way girl!

Hi Heather!

Nice to meet you. Congratulations on all of your ArtExpo success! What an exciting time! keep us updated on what happens with all your new contacts. I hope to see you there next year!

Your watercolors transport me right to the water's edge with sand in my toes. Thank you for the escape from my current wintery weather...

I like your website too!

Thank you for stopping by and the sweet comment of Define Emotion. =) Your works are so beautiful! They take you away to places we wish we were or once was...Congratulations on your new gallery!

Thanks for the nice comment. I see now why the picture drew you in. Your work is great, the beach pictures really make me anxious for summer...or at least temperatures above the 30's.

Life's a beach and then you paint it. And very well I might add.

Thanks for the advise...yea..the squinting thing really worksI just cant seem to capture the intensity of the colors that i see in the real scene...the camera loses some of it somehow...but i have hunch that practice makes perfect...the more i paint the better i will get.

love the beach watercolors...do you paint from a reference photo ? If so what format do you use...do you blow them up ? I ask because I paint from photos and am getting headaches looking at the small details and am trying to come up with a better way. I tried plein air but the darn scene changes so fast.
