Thanks for watching Kim!

Hmmm, that is an interesting question. I think paint drying times are really dependent on how thick your paint is--obviously heavy body will dry slower than fluid. I'm not sure brand-to-brand there is much of a difference. Thanks for watching and giving me something to ponder.

Thanks so much Cassandra! Be sure and let me know what you do with your piles of art!

I have to admit that being invited to show my art is a real motivator to get some pieces done. I spent most of last year just working in my art journal so switching it up and working on various substrates was good. I'm glad you enjoyed hearing about the process of those 3 girl paintings--I ended up putting quotes on their arms.

Thanks Denise! I have a lot of very large paintings but it's tricky to make videos of working on them--it's something I will hopefully figure out down the road.

You are so kind and encouraging!! I've got a smile on my face as I'm typing this. Thanks for letting me know that you like the piece with the wood squares and encaustic--I really wasn't sure about it!

Thanks Debbie! I've had fun putting those collages together--I'm glad you like them!

Thanks Liz-Anna! I might try to show larger art more often.

I appreciate your enthusiasm Maria! And I do enjoy thinking outside the box--plus my husband helps me problem solve so I can't take all the credit.

Thanks Angelina! I will try to make a video of all the finished art that is hanging at the coffee shop for the Art Walk. I appreciate you watching!

You make me smile Jill! Who knew anyone would consider me a "creative genius"?! I will definitely consider making a video using the plaster gauze.

I appreciate that Lyn! Sounds like we enjoy similar colors!

Thanks so much Barbara! I appreciate you watching.

Thank you for your kindness--your encouragement means a lot!

Oh my gosh, you made my day! Thanks for all your enthusiasm! I will definitely try and make a video using the plaster gauze--it is fun, although messy to use. Again thanks for your encouraging words!

Thanks so much! You should definitely give the plaster gauze a try.

Thanks Sabine! Thankfully I was in the creative zone as I had so much to do in a short amount of time. It was very freeing as I allowed myself to do ALL the different things and not worry too much about perfection. I appreciate you watching and letting me know.

Thanks so much for your kindness! I agree that creativity can be healing as it reaches deep inside, fills us up, and helps us express ourselves.

Those girls actually changed again although I did use the stamps. I will try to make a video showing the finished version.

Thanks Elizabeth--that means a lot!

Oh Dee, that means so much! Thanks for letting me know your favorites.

Thanks Marie! I appreciate your kind words!

I appreciate you saying that--thanks so much for watching and letting me know.

Elizabeth, I appreciate you watching and letting me know!

Thanks for watching and letting me know!

Your comment made my day! Thanks so much! I am sitting here amazed that someone thinks I'm unique--appreciate that so much. Also, all the videos I've ever posted are always available -- just click on my name underneath the video and it will take you to the page.

Thanks! I make some version of this card for most everyone I know. I'm glad you are giving it a try.

Thanks Sandra! I appreciate you watching.

Thanks for your kind words Jany! I hope you are inspired to make art.

I appreciate that so much Mathilde! I desire to be down-to-earth and show how much fun art can be--so you made my day!

Thanks so much Lisa! I hope you are inspired to go make art!

Oh, thank you so much--I'm glad to hear you found inspiration! I'll admit it felt a little weird not having a video ready to go for last week (and this one coming up) but it has given me some creative breathing space which I needed.

I appreciate you watching and letting me know!

So glad to hear that Alyson! Seems like there is a group of us that like that look although I know it's not for everyone.

I appreciate you letting me know Liz-Anna!

Oh my gosh, a ladder-lover! Thanks for letting me know--that makes me so happy! I appreciate that you like the texture and muted palette in my art--hopefully you are inspired in your own art making.

I totally understand Debbie. I think we all get "blocks" about certain things, judging ourselves. That inner critic says, "this isn't good enough, etc" Here is my suggestion (not that you asked!)....I would glue your favorite papers into an art journal, sketchbook, or notebook even if you don't think they are the best. Don't overthink it--maybe you like the colors or the design, just choose some to include. The remaining papers I would use as collage. Don't give up--press on!

@@pamhemmerling That's a great idea, thanks! I need to do something, lol.

@@debbiespringer7961 Believe me, I know how those piles of paper grow!

I'm so happy to hear that. I am all about simple and easy. One day I might get ambitious and make a stitched journal but in the meantime these work great. Thanks for watching and letting me know.

Oh, Gayle--thank you! I know there are some of us that just love that grunginess (it's not for everyone!) so I appreciate knowing that you are one of them.

I appreciate hearing that Dee! I know that we are each drawn to different types of art so hopefully you have some inspiration for your own art.

Wow, thanks for sharing your insightfulness Sabine! I appreciate that perspective on my art. And I love your "red is my hesitation color" comment. Poetry in the making! I will definitely be making portraits in the non-spiral art journals and hopefully the process will be similar to what I'm already doing. I guess we'll see.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment! I appreciate you watching.

Thanks for watching Dagmar!

Thanks Dagmar! I'm glad to hear that.

Thanks Gwynned--I hope you give it a try! I appreciate you going back and watching my older videos!

I am so sorry to hear about your sister passing away-- sounds like she leaves a big hole in your heart. I know it's hard to find our creative juices when grieving but I've found creative acts can at times also help us heal. All the YT art videos will be waiting for when you're ready. Hugs to you.

@pamhemmerling Yes, a very big hole. Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks for that tip!

Thanks for letting me know Pat! I appreciate you watching.

I appreciate you letting me know you have been inspired--that is exactly why I make these videos! Happy New Year to you too!
