If you'll have me...




...then I guess I'll join in on the fun.

I'm just starting out, but I have made a few posts here so I feel that I should introduce myself. Mostly I just lurk around and absorb information from the talented artists that are willing to part with their secrets. Every now and then you'll see a post from me, but I haven't been brave enough (and I don't have a digital camera) to post a painting for critique.

I've lived in Iowa all my life (all 24 years of it, that is). I've taken a few little art classes at the community college and the art guild in the city where I used to live. I even got to go to the British Isles for a couple weeks for an art class. We went to England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and toured their art museums and castles. It was wonderful! So, other than some high school, community college and small art guild classes I am self-taught.

I don't have much time to devote to becoming a serious artist right now, but I'm trying to squeeze it in as much as possible. I am quite serious about becoming a professional artist and welcome all the help I can get.

You might not hear much from me right now, but I'm here! I'm sure I'll be posting some pics of artwork of my daughter, who is currently 9 months old and is a beautiful model for her mommy. Keep up the great work everyone; it gives me something to aspire to!

Susan
