I'm so happy to be joining you all.
First, let me say I think you are all just incredibly wonderful people. I have been lurking in the background, partly due to shyness but also being unwilling to post a picture. (What is that, right? A portrait artist who doesn't like the way she looks! Get real!)
I have always wanted to be an artist but like many others felt that job security far outweighed the starving artist route. So here I am at fifty finally realizing I have to do this. I have not done any art work for the past ten or twelve years. Finally, June 26th 2004 I got back to my art. I've never worked in oils, they always seemed to be too expensive. I'm thrilled with them and having a blast!
I have learned so much in the few months I have been observing on the forum. I'm very excited, I can see tremendous growth in just a few months.
I am posting only one example of my work, so I can be sure I am doing it correctly. The oil painting is 9x12 on cheapo canvas panel. It is of my brother, taken twenty years ago. I definitely want as much criticism as you are willing to give me, now and on all my future paintings.
