I am a self taught artist who started painting about 12 years ago. I have just become more serious about learning techniques in the last year. I never thought I had enough talent to sell but for Christmas I made greeting cards and have started to show my painting to friends more. A lot of people have asked me if I was selling them and I thought no way! I went to a 4 week painting class and learned about this website and thought I would give it a try. Thank you for your interest. more
