Patchouli,
I did best work with pastels, followed by pencil, watercolor, acrylic and oil, in that order. I think I did pretty well with portraits even though I taught myself.
I haven't been able to do any artwork since the surgery and stroke. I also have reached the stage where I can no longer physically participate in exhibitions. I decided it was a shame that some of those I still have aren't being seen. Some of those posted on DA have been sold, or were lost to Katrina. (Three of my children were in New Orleans for Katrina, and lost everything to the waters.) But I have posted their photographs even though they are gone. Wouldn't mind selling some more, but I usually did my best selling in New Orleans, at Mall Exhibits. They don't have those here in Columbia SC.
I am debating allowing the pictures to remain on DA because I don't really understand the terminology they use and I am getting little out of membership, after the initial surge of interest.
current events II is the only political message board from which I have ever been banned, and that banishment is for life. I got into a religious argument with a religious administrator over attacks from a religious poster. I was accused of being a formerly banned poster using an assumed name to regain access to the board. It wasn't true, but the "true believers," believed it was so. So I was banished for life.
Don't mind if the art isn't impressive. I am self taught and just like bright colors, textures, details, patterns and really was more or less experimenting for the most part.
