I used mostly browns and dark colors and really began feeling comfortable after taking a workshop with her many years ago. I think it is so cool when we step out and try new things and discover what we like and find that path that we love. I love Dina's style and have tried so hard to stick with a few colors and lots of white space and I just can't do it. I have to have a dozen or more colors and little white space to think of and then I am happy. Funny how that works out. Anyway, I don't always comment but I enjoy reading your thoughts. Blessings to you for a wonderful weekend!

Infertility...You do great work on budget materials. Infertility is a strong painting and beautifully done. The ducks painting is nice too. I just like the contrasts in the first one. I sometimes use hardware store stuff too, like metal duct tape for crafting cards' backgrounds. I have made my own alcohol inks to mist using food colors. If I were selling my art, I'd probably go for quality products. I don't sell my stuff so anything goes. My painting is on foamboard. I doubt that it is stable or durable. I just wanted something to enter this week in PPF and painted on what I could find handy to paint on.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6631994667243172916.post-83906171707955166442012-10-13T15:22:37.046-04:002012-10-13T15:22:37.046-04:00I enjoyed reading your rant here!

It's not so important to me what you use, more important is that you do. Long ago I stopped trying to be like anyone else and let how I do it be my style. Funnily enough others seem to like it and most important I do too!<br />;-)<br />So be yourself and have fun! Just let it happen.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.com
