 ... if you use paints of anykind.... in any medium, please share your talents with us.   Maybe you paint on canvas, or wood, or clothes.....you might do stenciling.   Maybe someone in your family is an artist.  Any type of artwork is welcome to be discussed and shared here.    If you are a viewer of art... and have stories to tell of museums or galleries... we'd love to know about that also.

Oh WOW!....... your pictures moved me to tears....
 
most especially this one... I am such a tree lover!!
 
 ... and I especially love trees without their leaves.   I've taken several rolls of film of just that very thing.   This picture literally takes my breath away when I look at it... I just sit here without breathing enjoying it!...
 
Gosh you made me smile tonight.... I'm so glad you shared these with us, and look forward to seeing more!
 
I liked all of them.... you are a very talented lady!   I thought the one of the dogs was so so nice... and also of your husband. 
 
You have a natural talent!  It would be so wonderful if you were able to take a class and enjoy the fellowship of other artists.   Had you ever considered doing that before?
 
I hope you don't mind, but I saved a few of those to my album of members pictures that I keep for my files.   They won't get used or anything.... I just wanted to have them in case you have to delete for storage. 
 
Thanks again so much for sharing them on here.  You are really really good!!

grace i love to paint trees,that tree was was dying slowly like the barn was rotting away, right after mom dyed a storm blew the barn over, i had just got it on film n painted it now the tree is gone too, but i have it, on canvas, n it will be passed down to my children.
 my children want me to have a showing, but i found things wrong with all of them, so i have given most away,sold a couple n threw a lot away, so i don't have many left.
 my house is so full n cluttered, heck i can't get one more picture on the wall lol.
  thank you foryoue complementsjeni

Jenni, those pictures are just wonderful. I took a few classes, but never painted much. I didnt know you can paint borders in acrilic on walls. Did you seal them afterwards. I did some cut out wallpaper once on my kitchen cabinets, glued them and then sealed them, but i got tired of them and painted them over. Keep up painting, you are great. Sylvia

no sylvia,i did not seal the borders, i don't if i should have or not but the one in my bath has been has been up since 94, poor me i can't get up there and do it any more and i don't want any one to paint over it lol, so my daughter just wipes down the walls and it has stayed good, so i don't guess it has to be sealed, but it has not been scrubbed with anything harsh.
thanks for your kind complement.i started trying to teach myself in 1991, stopped painting in 2002,i only paint on the puter now.
 my brother wants me to paint one, of our parents old farm house, n surroundings. i started last winter, and it still sits unfinished,don't know if it will get finished,i am off ,good night, jeni
