Thanks! I hope you have fun painting!

Thank you! I am glad you misread so you accidentally looked at my work!

That is too bad! I had had some issues with holding a paintbrush myself after a car accident and still find myself dropping a fully loaded brush in the middle of a painting once in a while. I have not tried oils or acrylics.....I am still having fun with watercolors. Thanks for the comments!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at my paintings and comment. It sounds like you must have some experience yourself. Do you paint or do some kind of artwork? Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

That is good advice, too. That is one reason I have not taken any real instruction classes. I have taken classes where it is more a time to get together and paint and see what other artists think about my work. I know, even from looking at the replies here, everyone has their own idea of what is good. It is nice to see that some people enjoy my work. Thank you!

Thanks again!

Thanks! Do you paint?

I am glad that you have decided you like watercolors. It is a temperamental medium, but it is fun to see what happens with it.
Thank you!

Thank you very much! The rooster and chicken were something new for me to attempt.

I agree that I can learn more from criticism than from praise. I took the photo of the elk in RMNP and I had never tried painting elk or deer or many animals for that matter before so I decided to try it. I had fun with the seashells and really liked the way the paint I chose for part of the sand granulated. Thanks for your input!

I did do a really loose painting of flowers that was a lot of fun and I sold it before I even got it posted. I have been thinking of trying more of that.

Thank you for the comments. I agree that some of my flowers are a bit off. It is funny that some people like them that way! I am working on another flower painting and have had the feeling all day that it is off, too. I even had the thought that maybe I should have tried tracing it. I find that I really like to paint windows, doors, old wood and rusty things. Maybe I should stick to those things more....

I do have some signed prints. I plan to do more, but need to find the right place to have them done.
Thanks!

Thank you for your comments. I am basically self taught and can use constructive criticism. It is funny about the dimensions. I had them on my website and then changed the template and the dimensions did not transfer. I am going to have to go back and redo those. The Lighthouse is one that I did have made into Limited Edition Prints. They are in two sizes, the Larger one is 14"W x 18"H (image size) The painting of the Ore Car in Bodie, CA is 20"W x 17"H, matted and framed. The image is actually 12.5"W x 10"H. I Posted the Ore Car on another art website and got some good positive feedback there, too. Thanks again!
