WELCOME--Artists and Friends

This is my very first internet reality.  Long ago I attempted to learn how to do a website and it never happened.  We have come a long way in "user friendly"!!  I am so excited, so let's get going.  My idea in starting, is to catch you up on where I have come from (pertaining to art), where I am now, and where I hope to go.  I will post photos of my paintings, and tell a little bit about them.  You will definitely be able to see how I knew nothing when I started out, and hopefully what I have been learning along the way, with a lot of learning to go.  A lot of the time I still think of myself as a beginner, but that is because I can see how much I don't know.  I work mostly in pastel.  I keep coming back to it when I venture off to try a different medium.  Occasionally, I like to do a drawing, trying to develop my toning skills.  One can never draw too much!  Please feel free to post comments and/or questions.  I am hoping, as I get into this blogging, that we can all learn from each other.  My next blog will be the very first pastel I did, the week I bought my first set of pastels while visiting relatives in Maryland.
