Gratitude

:heart: Gone a while
I guess I haven't written here much...

So, I know I can be quite a reclusive lil minty mint when I want to be. There are several reasons, none of which I'll get into here on such a public forum. However, I will say, I am well, and that I am always reading what you guys write to me, and I am ALWAYS (nevergonnastopkinnalovin) painting.

If you are extremely curious, the only place I'll be writing for a while, now that outdoor painting has begun, is on myntifresh. If you're not sure where that is and really want to know, note me, or browse til you find it. :giggle: I'm so bad.

:lick: Being Grateful
It means so much.

I just want to express my deepest, heartfelt gratitude for meeting such lovely people here, so many kind comments about my work, so many good criticisms and imput... I could go on. But I won't, I might go mushy...

I just want to say, thank you, so very much. I love to paint. But I also think of art as a communication. I have so many things yet to tell, so many images to show, but without people looking, enjoying, even analyzing sometimes, my work, I would feel as if I am telling a story to an empty room. There is something missing.

Before I came to deviantART, I always felt so. But never again. This will always be the primary place I come to share my finished work. For no other reason than you. Every story I tell is so important to me, sometimes more than you realize. I spend hours, days, weeks, months, thinking on one painting...

And then to see, sometimes, the extraordinary work of the same sort of lengthy-hour madness from a fellow deviant....

It is a haven of the best sort :heart:

Thank you guys. It means so much to me!

PS. As for daily doodles... I have continued on my own, but I sometimes don't turn on the computer every day, and so I'm going to skip the daily postings for now until I get back into a more "normal" routine of digital pieces. I have been outdoors, painting a lot and spending far less time indoors, and unfortunately my deviantART time sorta goes out the window... :giggle: As for the message centre... I will, however, be around to check notes, comments, post new pieces as they finish, and so forth on a regular basis. I just might not get to the majority of my inbox very quickly.

deviously deviant. I've grown to love deviantART for the global community and the discussions about art. You guys rock my socks.

previously creative. I used to design graphics and tees around dA, under the direction of $liquisoft and $Heidi.

deviously statistical. I was born in November 1982, I'm divorced, and currently live near Philadelphia, PA. I graduated in 2005 with a BA; majoring in filmmaking with a focus in editing/cinematography and a minor in art history. Presently I am a commission artist. For my commissions, I work in almost any medium, but the majority are oil or digital paintings.

deviously zany. I love to spend my free time painting, singing around the house or in the shower, volunteering, riding motorcycles, going on walks and hikes, doing yoga, pilates and kickboxing, listening to music, and of course, chilling out here on deviantART.

deviously done. Everything I do, I try to do with a giggle and some fun.

deviously merchandising!
Support me and my art by buying my prints! Every print I sell goes towards donating deviant subscriptions, prints for me to sell in person (at shows, and right out of my studio), and art supplies like oil paint and canvas.
