Welcome Sandy to the group - glad to have you aboard! Do you have a web site for your paintings, would love to see some of your work.
How can we help to inspire you, and what type of printing are you talking about - giclee or other?
Sandy Simmons commented on Carol Komassa's group 'Watercolorists Heaven'
I'm sorry if I've posted twice -- brand new to this group. I found Art Fair Insiders by accident and love it for information on art show equipment. I'm in California and have painted in watercolors over 20 years. …

Wonderful Kathleen, we look forward to seeing it.
I'm about 2 weeks away from completion of the Grand Canyon I'll post when it's done!
How about the rest of you???
Carol Komassa commented on Leslie Christopher Bookout's photo
Leslie, welcome to the Watercolorist group. This is a really great watercolor, at first I thought it was a photo - great work, you are very talented! I think I've got you beat, it's taken me 3 years to get the guts up to paint…

Carol, I will put my camera on notice...get ready -or else! I will definitely have pictures sooner or later...delivery is June as a non-negotiable date. I will post a page or two from my Journal later also...maybe a full-fledged watercolor…

WOW Kathleen, how neat, you are really busy and sounds like you have great balance.
Congrats on the commission - can you post it when you are done so we can see it?
We will pray for warmer temps for you so the brush doesn't…

I have a commissioned watercolor on the board and sketches for several spontaneous titles that have bubbled up over the past month or so : Waiting impatiently in the wings. Unlike some artist friends, I never have more than one painting in…
What's new with your watercolor plans or paintings for 2011?
Hello Everybody,Pretty quiet....please enter discussion, post questions, or talk about your latest painting or one in progresss! I've just started a Grand Canyon painting. At first it looked fairly easy....but now that I'm looking at the Canyon wall details (this is a HUGE painting) and trying to get the perspective right on the meandering river was a real challenge. It's 98% done (drawing) and next week I hope to actually start painting it. It's quite daunting.....but I won't let that stop…See More

Carol Komassa commented on merri pattinian's blog post 'Did I really make a living selling art?'
Great comments all, and Joseph I agree with your comments 110%.
Just one questions - those that are having some success at shows - do we know what and why?
I see that B & W is "hot" right now.
Josh Trefethen replied to Carol Komassa's discussion 'I Need Your help Please!' in the group Photographers Darkroom
I second the recomendation for FrameDestination.com - a great resource and very good prices. The shipping is fast and the packaging is the best - never have received any damaged goods, which is well above the norm in my…

Thanks Connie I did check out the site. I like that they are hand glued and made in the US - pricing I will check with my sources to compare.
Thanks.
Carol Komassa replied to Carol Komassa's discussion 'I Need Your help Please!' in the group Photographers Darkroom
Thanks so much Robert, great information and resources I will check them all out.
I think you are right about Hobby-Lobby - good catch!
I can also make a quick trip over to Mexico - about 2.5 hours from me - there was a vendor with great frames…

The Sun City Artists Art Fair (in Peoria Az) this last Friday and Saturday was a huge loss.
Little traffic, poor lighting, and almost no sales. I personally only sold 4 greeting cards and didn't even cover my table entry. But I did better than some others who sold nothing at all! Many commented on how nice my display looked and how good my work is, but we were there to sell not show, so I took their comments as a positive but felt really down when I didn't sell larger… Continue

Kathleen Neff said… - Ah, the Catzzz! Yes, favorites of mine, since I can't have any ---the other member of the household doesn't like them! I enjoy painting and drawing my sons 'kid' (Yoda is a beautiful Himalayan with all the pep and ginger that my beloved Siamese had!). Of course my Golden Retriever uses most of my spare time and accompanies me on my nature walks where he poses with pleasure!

Have a great week!
