I painted "Hawaiian Foliage" because I am in love with the flora of Hawaii. We lived there for 27 years, our son was born and raised there (he still considers himself a Hawaiian Surfer Dude), I had 3 careers there, my husband retired from the Marine Corp there, and I simply loved it. We relocated to the 'mainland' 23 years ago because it was just time and we wanted our son to know more than just island life.

Not sure what qualifies as old, but pretty sure I fit those qualifications! 🙂As far as 'seasoned', I have been painting for about three years now. Just love it, and now do it as a career.

I'm glad you're here, Barb. It's a good group for real conversation, not just drive-by likes. Looking forward to seeing what brings you to the table.

Hey hey, welcome in! 👋 Looking forward to seeing what you're working on, this room's good for connecting over the work itself. What kind of art are you making right now?

My art includes greeting cards, wood ornaments, wood painting, canvas painting, hand painted bookmarks, works in resin, and a variety of Christmas themed items. I started out doing greeting cards for my congregation at church and loved it so much I put some of those images on canvas. That worked out well and I just haven't stopped! Right now I am working on an owl in flight, coffee themed cards for a coffee shop, and an elephant on an oval wood piece.
