Thanks for your great comments, Sonny. I have some really good friends at WetCanvas and I'm sure you'll be one of the "family" in no time. See you over there
Hi Jan
Just adore your delightful personality on WC (as seen through your comments and art work). Have really enjoyed your web site. I had a feeling/sense about who you are as a person that's grown since I first began to come across your comments - and reading your few words here sort of firmed that up... you've been an artist at heart all of your life! Your giving friendliness shows in what you say and do. I identify with your love of drawing. That you've progressed so far so quickly inspires me. Lee Hammond's books also pushed me over the edge from wishful thinking to seeking to find out what I could do at about the same times you mention. Having just stumbled onto WC this year, I've just begun to explore my potential. On WC you come across as if you know everyone personally and they know you. Says a lot about you. Good luck and good fortune.
Like where you're going with your art.
Sonny
BTW... love cats too ... and dogs... all pets really.
Reading everyone else's comments it seems you have been keeping your talent quiet, Jan. Good to see you have plucked up the courage to show your work. You have no reason to be shy as you really are good. 8)
