Thank you for putting all this info together, Gail and to each of the artist contributors for the generous insight into their practices. It’s been a while since I last painted, I need to oil the rusty wheels to relearn all over again. Your tips/blogs/emails are inspiring me again, thank you

In reply to Robert Sutton. Thanks Robert for your comment. As you have said, it's primary to paint what you love! Painting what moves you means you can paint with passion rather than obligation. We are all on a learning curve, no matter where we are on our journey. And isn't that some of what keeps life and art-making exciting??

In reply to Lynn Miller. Hah hah Lynn. Redundant or not, it's still lovely to hear! And yes, get through the football and then take time. And time again whenever needed.

Gail, a very interesting set of comments, that all artists on the learning curve should read and try to assimilate. I am still on the learning curve myself, as I enter into my 82nd year, and the last 8 years as an avid artist. I like the comment that Michael Freeman makes- ” Paint what you love and remember the most important rule: ‘Rules are there to be broken’. No one art genre is superior to any other, they are all equally amazing, so choose the one that speaks to you, listen to your own artistic voice and have fun!

Thank you so much!!
