Hello everyone.
I joined CreativeSpark last week, but life happened and I didn’t have a chance to introduce myself until now. I’m from South Louisiana and have done art off and on over the past years but not enough to reach anywhere near the level I wish for. About a year and a half ago we moved to a tiny little houseboat on a little bayou and so I packed my painting supplies into “moth balls” and took a turn learning a little about colored pencils (less space necessary for that.) But now we have recently moved (again) to a house on the edge of a Louisiana swamp and it happens to be big enough to set up a studio again (and an inspiring location to boot!) Now that I have more time and space, I am determined to up my game with my art.
I am so glad I found this forum!
I work mostly with acrylics and oils. I’m also pretty proficient with digital illustration but had to set that aside for our “tiny-home living” too, so I feel super rusty at everything! I am now trying to learn watercolors too, and of course there are the colored pencils. I am crazy meticulous with those, and maybe better at them than painting, but quite slow. I still like painting best.
Oh, and I paint birds! (mostly)
My biggest lack in my skill set is painting the landscape background for my waterfowl.
Anyway, that’s me. I'm usually such a lurker in forums, but I’m hoping to get involved here and get inspired to get better at my art too!

I am happy to hear you have a studio space again and can't wait to see your work. Your location sounds lovely. I hope you post some of the views out your window too!
