I am only relatively new to blogging, and each day brings surprises, such as your comment. Is my blog truly mentioned in a magazine somewhere? I would love to know which one - I'm astounded! I have only just started learning about oil painting - there is a loong way to go for me there! This week we are learning about impasto techniques. My art teacher last semester intorduced us to gesso - I really like it's creamy texture on paper. I saw in the shops tubs of black and I tried to look up your website, but it couldn't display. If you'd like some info on starting your own blog, just drop me a line. Wordpress or Blogger hosts them for free. Would love to see some examples of your work, especially the etchings - I LOVE that beautiful quality of print that you get only with etchings. Warm regards, Cindy Lane Hi Grace,

In fact I got your blog address from a magazine I picked up yesterday and was fascinated by the whole thing. I have no clue as to how to get my own blog address but I will ask around. Your photographs are beautifuk. I am also an advocate of gesso. I use it under everything. It works well with watercolors and pastel as well. I have been both a etcher amd an oil painter for some time. I am now concentrating on encaustic. This is the first time I have entered anybody’s blog.

Funnily enough, it was during these lessons that I actually learnt a lot more. Jessica probably doesn't need lessons if she likes to draw. If she puts aside a little time each day, she will get better and better. Thanks for stopping by, Cheers, Cindy Hi Jo-Anne,

I think she would love this post.

A bit more comfortable with it, but wouldn't do it out of choice. Would love to see your daughter's drawing. Cheers, Cindy Hi Mandy,
