To All,

Thank you all so much for your support. This Forum has been a great place for me to learn and to grow. Because my medium of choice is colored pencil, I sometimes get the cold shoulder from professional artists. Luckily thanks to Ann Kullberg's online magazine (she is also a professional on this site), and some great books published by North Light that showcase the beautiful colored pencil work of Barbara Newton, Janie Gildow and more, colored pencil is rapidly getting the respect in the art world that it deserves.

Thanks again everyone!
Rebecca

p.s. If anyone would like to be a guest artist at the school just let me know. Bringing the world of art to children that would otherwise not be exposed to it is a passion of mine. I encourage everyone on this Forum to donate a couple of hours a month or more to their local school. The teachers, students and parents would greatly appreciate it!
