Hey thanks, great color in the 1st one.  Cut backs suck...

Thanks for visiting my page.  The vent watercolor, Duct, has been around the country at several local shows, Watercolor USA 2004, and New Art 2005 in Boston.  It's turned out to be a favorite for shows, but not for anyone's living area so far.  Congratulations on the first show, and keep up the painting!

thanks for the visit to my site - yes - I think I have FINALLY found my bliss so to speak.  I have struggled with this direction and that direction for many years.  This has all been brewing in me for a long time.  And I never wanted to be an art teacher but that is what I have become.  And most of the time it is great.  And working in a school has definitely given me a little more time than what I used to have in my previous work,  I am hoping I can make the leap to at least part time - eventually.  This time of the year is hard for people I think.  And there are so many expectations on a math teacher these days.  I don't envy you. 


 


I really like your work alot.  Its very good.  Keep on painting and getting them out there.  Good to see you are on this site.

Nice art work, and a Woody Allen fan to.  Gangs and power, frightening, see No Country for Old Men.

I know, can you believe about those Giverny Photos... I was in awe...Monet was so incredibly talented...but then would all of us have that gift if we were surrounded daily by that kind of beauty?

Hi again!

 Feel free to have her email me @ Conant.kelly@gmail.com.  I'd love to tell her all about delaware and see where else she is looking.

Talk to you soon,

Kelly

Hi there!

 I'm happy to tell you about delaware!  loved U Del because of their study abroad programs - they really support going abroad as often as you would like, so if your son/daughter wants to travel is a great option.  What are they looking to study?  I can tell you my impressions of the different depts. through my friend's experiences.  Hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks for visiting my page.  I like your work as well.  I have only spent a little time in New Jersey, but from what I remember, you seem to have captured it.  I admire anyone who can teach.
