It is hard, frustrating and extremely fun. I have now fallen into the pastel addiction where I need more and more pastels! But for now I have Karen Margulis' Terry Ludwig set so I am pretty much "set" for now. <br />
Here are some paintings so far that I have painted using different papers. I like funky!!<br />
<br />
And here is my latest pastel journey video.<br />

It's interesting that at first their stems are drooping then as they open up the stems get stronger and stand up. So I have painted these Tulips several times. Here is a quick progression of the painting of these beautiful dark reddish pink Tupils.<br />

This is how I draw everything out. I place the grid from Photoshop them place the same grid on my canvas. Then it transfers correctly.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try to paint everyday so I do get behind in posting here on my blog. It sure seems like Facebook</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has kinda taken over the enthusiasm for blogs these days but that's life--everything changes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am about 7 years into my oil painting journey now. I still wonder if I have found my style. I think it changes sometimes as I take a workshop or I am influenced by the fabulous art of some of my favorite artists. I have many and just to name a few:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melanie Morris</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nancy Franke</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trish Adams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alice Williams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Connie Winters</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and from here in Jacksonville, Paul Ladnier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have taken workshops from all of these except Nancy Franke whose workshops fill up in a matter of minutes I think. I am on a waiting list for Nancy Franke so hopefully I will be able to take one for with her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess if I have a style it's probably a combination of all of these wonderful painters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are all impressionists and painterly painters. I love them all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of these paintings are up on my fine art website.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited to have been chosen to be a part of this wonderful book by </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joanne Fink. Joanne, the creator of <a href="http://zenspirations.com/">Zenspirations</a>, has done a fabulous job with this book</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
showing anyone who would like to start Bible journaling just how to do it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For me Bible Journaling is a very inspiring way to really think about Scripture because when you create art with lettering and drawn images that Scripture really takes on special meaning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a very rewarding way to create.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joanne has added stickers, letters as well as complete Bible-ready art on a vellum-like transparency paper that you can just paste right into your Journaling Bible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has truly thought of everything that you need to know about </div>
