A big hello from down under. Isn't it a wonderful world when at your fingertips you have like minded people who have the same interests and careers. Hi,my name is Ngaire pronounced Naree. The 'g' is silent. I am self taught and am currently studying Small Business Management by correspondence, that will hopefully take care of my weakness in that area. Now for my technical aspects. My wish, to be a technical efficient artist with a bit of style. How long will it take? With a great forum like this, who knows?
My caption 'Smile a While' was a well thought out line, or so my brain tells me. As I noticed other members having web address's, philosphical commentary etc, I thought maybe I could have a snazzy line.
I believe laughter is the best medicine and my experience is not isolated, of course. So 'Smile a While' came to be. 'Smile..' while you are trying to figure out how to get that exact colour you want, 'Smile... while the frustration overwhelms your weaknesses in your knowledge and technique, 'Smile... when you are about to give it all up and take up another of life's pursuits.
'Smile... when you realise you are not alone.
So where is my introduction. Thank you Cynthia, all moderators and members who make this such a classy and informative site. I hope we can all get to rub shoulders with each other in this big canvas, we call life.
Here is my most recent attempt - "Divided" 22 x 18 Pastel for a local competition.
Cheers
