  1. Being on the same page as Monet, Cassett. etc is a truly awesome experience as I know I could never be on the same page as them! Thank you for including my fun and funky folk art!

    But how I love the GREATS! (Do you know Charles Reid and Barbara Nechis? And Jeanne Doby? Inspiring!)

    1. You are welcome! I love your paintings and poetry and prose.

      I don’t know the other three painters you mention, but will learn.

      This weekend, I went through an old box and found some designs I made with crayons. I liked them and will try again! Lots of colors.

      Thanks for all your support, Margaret…you add so much to this blog!

  2. Hey, crayons are great! You can use them as a resist–making designs with crayons, such as shading in a flower. Then you can paint over the area with watercolors and where the wax has settled, the paint will be repelled. The effect is exciting!

    Watercolor pencils are fun too. There’s the control of a pencil, but then you run a wet brush over them, and voila. Paint!

    I have a couple of online sources for reasonably priced art supplies: Dick Blick and Cheap Joe’s.

    Isn’t it fun to play? I go from computer, to painting table, to piano, to kitchen, to garden (in season)–playing all the way. Can’t imagine any other way to live! 🙂

    1. A lot of new information–thanks so much! A few years ago, I bought a needlepoint kit. Looking at the back of one of the pieces from my Grandmother Grace, I remembered how to do it.

      There’s a Hobby Lobby in Sheboygan–that’s where I bought the kit. Really nice people too.
