Hello from Australia!

[bethany]

I am another import from WC. Which had been a huge part of my art-life for the past 20 years (last 10-ish as Moderator in Portraits and Figures).
I mostly paint portraits and figures in oils. I love pastels as well. Now a full time artist and have almost completed setting up a dedicated studio. This involved converting our double garage- which is part of the house. Exciting times!
Looking forward to making new connections and re-connecting with some familiar faces!

 

[Terri]

Exciting times, indeed! Congrats on getting your studio set up!

Welcome to the forum, too! We're happy to have you joining us. Looking forward to seeing your work. Have fun!

Thank you, Terri! I know that replies are sometimes out of whack because of our differing time-zones. Looking forward to looking around all the artworks.

Welcome Bethany. I remember you from the portrait swaps.

Welcome bethany! I am so happy for you that you have converted your garage into your studio and frankly am a bit jealous! Congratulations on becoming a full-time artist: welcome to the life! It's great to have you here at CS and I hope you will make many new friends as well as connecting with your old ones. Have fun and I look forward to seeing your work.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I remember you from the portrait swaps, Sno! Arty- I will post some pics of the studio space when it is organised. I am so grateful to have the space- I had a shed built for the husband so I could finally have my own art space!

Hi Bethany! Welcome! I only did one portrait swap and it was fun.

 

[bethany]

Hi Kay! I was involved with the portrait swap and now have over 20 portraits of myself! Would make an interesting exhibition (not!)
