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.
