An Introduction

Hello,

I'm new to this website and wanted to say hello. From Boston, I'm 56 and have always been artistic but never really painted. After being laid off almost two years ago, I decided to try painting to pay the bills. I've had two artshows, sold three paintings and still can't pay the bills. Lol. I work in watercolors and never having been taught to paint, I tend to just recreate what I see. I've recently tried to step out if my comfort zone and try things from my imagination.

I also design gowns and quilt. I hope you like my work.

Cheers Judie

Thanks for the welcome and kind words. I've been painting for just about a year now. I enjoy almost everything I've tried. I have some florals and will try and get them scanned. Currently I am working on a related artsy thing. I have three gowns I am making. One for a beauty pageant and two wedding gowns. You can see some of my work at www.jdicouture.com/gowns

again thank you Judie

Hi Judy.. a suggestion, since you do animals. Take a picture of two of your works to the local vet and ask him if you can advertise for commissions! Does give you some work here and there!!! Regads Trixi
