Congratulations on becoming a member of OPA! It sounds like there are some great opportunities in store for you! I can't wait to see where they take you. No wonder you're feeling stoked!
Seeing your snow painting is timely - we got about a foot of the white stuff yesterday and last night. It's amazing what you can do with just your fingers to create a painting. I look forward to seeing the evergreens added in and the bare deciduous trees too.
Oh, and I'd be annoyed with bugs flying into my painting too! I guess when that happens, you just keep going too. Who knew?
That’s a big step and I’m excited for what the future holds for you with this organization! Congratulations!
It comes down to cumulative small steps but always moving forward, and looking at setbacks or mistakes as experiences, all of which are valuable.
I hate getting bugs in my paint too, though I’ve found if I’m doing a textured painting I don’t care so much. Dealing with the wind outdoors can be difficult. In the summer I work outside and there have been many times when the wind picked up my canvas and took it away, face down in the rocks or something. Fortunately our summers are not usually windy.
I love your hills, they look like mountains to me, but I’m in Colorado where most hills are mountains. I love the light in your sky. I think this will be a great painting! Keep on going, you’re doing great things!
Thak you, as always, for you support, Alene. I have to admit that it's been a bit scary to put myself out there in the art world. Much of my working life has been dealing with being a cog in a corporation's bullshit. Art is a salvation, and it's so nice to be veering in the direction of a professional art career!
Congratulations on joining OPA! It sounds like they have many wonderful opportunities for you, and truly, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can do with your craft. Your painting is coming along wonderfully, Beth, and I can't wait to see the finished piece.
Thank you for your positive words of encouragement, Judy. I really am hoping for access to opportunities and to learn from others. And thanks for your support regarding the wintry landscape. The sky has been challenging, but fun at the same time.

Thank you for your good wishes, Nancy. I'm very hopeful that this organization will help me find opportunities.
A foot of snow!? Holy cow! Doesn't Mother Nature know it's spring?
Thank you for your kind words about my painting. I hope the trees come out well. I won't be finger painting those, ha!

Keep veering. You are headed there, I know it.
Thank you my friend.
