I know what you mean about the diamond necklaces, but I really don't look good in diamonds. :-P Yeah, I'd rather have my dogs healthy. <br /><br />What art books would you look at? Who inspires you?<br /><br />I didn't realize I was putting so many fishy references in this post. Must have been just a "stream" of consciousness thang. :-)Lisa Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881705944744985243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034593589876200675.post-2291892999387570352010-01-08T21:05:10.688-06:002010-01-08T21:05:10.688-06:00Hi Deb!

A sketch group, maybe. Like you said, just to bounce ideas off each other. First step is to find some artist friends in my area!Lisa Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881705944744985243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034593589876200675.post-48517065359670355222010-01-08T11:13:59.785-06:002010-01-08T11:13:59.785-06:00Just had the TPLO (tibia plateau leveling osteotom...Just had the TPLO (tibia plateau leveling osteotomy) done on my dog. I agree with the "vets-vacationing-in-south-of-France theory. <br />Could have had two big honkin' diamond necklaces. Will settle for one really funny dog.<br /><br />I have always worked solo. When I hit a dry patch, I would head to the library. I don't read the art books...just look at the pictures.<br /><br />And it says in this post that you have gone from sardine to flounder. That's a good thing, right? :)Leslie Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933649274394414938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034593589876200675.post-83534552564087283352010-01-07T19:49:27.154-06:002010-01-07T19:49:27.154-06:00Solo vs. Group??

At some point I decided no more classes or workshops, "just do it" as they say! I would get together with friends from time to time which evolved into a group who gets together weekly. It's good to bounce ideas off each other and the critiques are very helpful, but I still like to paint by myself sometimes! I've read through your blog and you are doing great! But it might be nice if you could find a group of real, live, in the flesh artists to meet with. And I can't wait to see the old car done in your style!debwardarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225105239355671724noreply@blogger.com
