Me Among My Treasures

My favorite hobby is creating art. My second favorite hobby that I happily engage in is reading. I enjoy reading all kinds of books: biographies, history, religion, education, romance novels, movies, entertainers, theater, music, comic books, humor, self-help, and of course- books about famous artists, art history, and art education. I created this digital painting of myself contentedly sitting among my priceless treasures: my books. I used the Paint program on my computer to create this art.

Love your style and ideas! Guess you should try switching from Paint to Corel Painter or Photoshop or something alike which may expand your big potential and the spectrum of your tools.

Artist Reply: I thank you Nikolay for taking the time to visit my Portfolio and like a lot of my artworks. I also appreciate your resourceful suggestions for my artistic expansion regarding Corel Painter and Photoshop. :)
