Oh, it’s all beautiful around the gorge and all around the area-the rivers and the valleys and the rocks and trees. Beautiful, small village. I have some history there. It has created an art centre and yearly art festival there and a lot of artists are there and they do a big studio tour. Very...

Thank you. I will check it out!🙂

I’m struggling to do any new work! 🙂🙃 How about restarting again since we’re getting no bites. Since it’s the Journalling and Sketchbook forum, I will post this. It doesn’t always have to be finished work. Paintings. I laid flat on my stomach to draw this years ago. About 1996. Early 20s. This...

Thanks, Donna. Yeah, I really encourage it for people doing any art. It’s really fast and accessible with very little prep or cleanup. Vine charcoal can be a little harder to find these days in some of the regular stores. I don’t know why. But it’s important to try because it’s so soft with the...

Both vine and regular compressed black charcoal.

Thank you, Jo. Well, it was Joy who brought the idea up and encouraged me to go for the two months. I had it in my mind, but didn’t know if there’d be much support for it. Well maybe one of the photos will call you to try painting it. We’d love to have you here and see your work. But it’s nice...

I would start searching either on the web or if there’s a place to ask on Etsy other shops what their experiences have been recently. We’re not even talking about possible tariffs just basically how shipping has been going. Perhaps it has been figured out. But I just wanted to let you know that...

I honestly love it! To me it’s a bit sophisticated because it takes a strong piece of art to show that colours that people don’t normally put together can work beautifully together.

Thanks for saying that about Canada. It’s really good hearing that from an American right now. Well you’re very welcome to come to Canada and you live in a beautiful area yourself.🙂 Yes, hopefully something has changed. It wasn’t Etsy’s fault. It was something that changed with customs. And...

Wow, great stuff! Proud of you that’s awesome! I would just worn your customers that they’re gonna be an extra long wait getting past customs in Canada. I don’t know if they resolved it but a few years ago it took an extra three weeks or a month to get something from Tennessee. It was a little...

I agree. Maybe during slower times we should just combine two months at a time. People might feel they have more time to get around to the challenge if they’re busy or they’re busy with other challenges.

Well Joy, I’m just so glad you suggested it! People have some time now too🙂

Ok, thank you. So everyone, the challenge will go through April and May and be done on the last day of May. 🙂

Actually Kay, Joy suggested that I extend April into May as one challenge. I think it’s a great idea and I’m going to do it unless there’s a reason I can’t. Could you please edit my first post’s title to say it is an extended challenge to reflect this? And in the body of that text, in 2 places...
