Hello Paulette! I have admired your work for some time now, both here and on Etsy. You have a wonderful sense of color and I love your approach to composition. I know all too well what it is like to have a busy life. Staying artful is a daily challenge but definitely worth it. Hope this finds you well and in good creative spirits!

First congratulations on one year and second I hope you are feeling better! :-) My mother got me interested in art when we just knew we had an original masterpiece by Sessions so I got online and went to searching. The bad news is that it wasn't an original, but the good news is that I found a whole new world that I never knew how much I would love. I love Van Gogh, Monet & Picasso and what's even better is the new artists like yourself that are so much fun to collect so a big thank you for your giveaway and have a great day! Kristi
