I think I am among the addicted.  To this site, and to painting.  It seams if I'm not actually painting, I am checking out this site.  It is so inspiring to see so much talent.

I'm self-taught, so I am hoping to learn a lot here.  My family is very encouraging in my paintings, but they dont offer much in the way of critic, so all feedback is greatly appreciated.

 I've only been painting (oil) for a few months, so I dont have a website.

Hey!

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Isn't it fun to see all the different works of art here! It is all very inspiring. I love your "Bonnie and Baby" painting. Bonnie's face is really good. I bet Baby's missing eye is a telltale sign of the love she gets from Bonnie!

Since you paint so much, you might want to join in on the weekly challenge under the oil category. It is really interesting to see all the different representations of one picture and regardless of experience they are all really good. BTW, I've heard it said you don't have to use oil to participate.

Maybe I'll see you there!

hi,

Yes, the baby is very loved by Bonnie. It has been everywhere with her.

I looked at the weekly challenge and was very impressed (as I often am in here) at how everyone started with the same reference photo yet came up with totally different pictures. It amazed me.

Hi I'm from Princeton Indiana. What part of Indiana you from? Last night is the first time for me being on this site. I oil paint also, something my husband got me started in. When he sugested it I thought he was alittle off his rocker because I have tremors in my hands. He told me you don't know if you can do it or not you have'nt tried. So we went to the art store for canvases and paint,. and I started to paint.I'm learning on my own, and I'm encouraged by my family. I don't have alot of time to devote to it because I take care of my sister who is bed ridden and she can't do anything for herself. I do believe I have the potential I just don't have the time to stick with it I really enjoy looking at other peoples art. If I can get someone to help me I hope to get some of my paintings on here too. I'm not real good with a computer. Nicetalking to you
