I have learned so much here! More than I ever have before! Thank you Karin, Chris, Cynthia, and everyone else and Steven for your thoughtful critiques!
I have a B.F.A. in painting, which actually translates to a huge debt and an enormous waste of money.
My teacher only taught us two things: to stand as far back from the canvas as possible while still touching it, and also never to get tight with brush strokes... really I learned nothing.
But every day I come to this site and I learn something so invaluable! I am amazed at the generosity of all of you! And I thank you! Some days I come to this site and what I have learned touches me so much that all I want to do is create something so great to show you all and make you proud!

Hopefully this won't be too far in the future!
Anyway, I am feeling so grateful and just wanted to let you all know!
Thank you, and best wishes to all!
Carolyn
