| Hi Didy, welcome to the forum. How nice that you can share art making with your husband - mine was keen to try sketchng with me once. He came to the conclusion that photography might be more his thing! |

Hi Diane,
Gosh your work is good! I really enjoyed the animals, the eyes show real spark.
I'm only new here too, so let's hope they're gentle with us!
Cheers

Hi Diana, to quote from Neo in The Matrix... "Wo."
Fantastic flowers... everytime I think I'm getting OK at watercolours, I see work like that puts me back in my box. (which is a good thing). I can see why they sell so well. Welcome to the forum, I look forward to picking your brains... 
Cheers

Hi Didi, love your work. Welcome!
I'd like to start painting but am nervously using lack of time as an excuse to put it off..!
So can you teach an old dog new tricks? |

Hi Diana
Welcome to the forum.
You have some beautiful paintings and drawing. Def. great attention to detail.
My only concern is that the watermarks (copyrights) take away from the beauty of the paintings. Do you think they are necessary? I think they take away from the painting.
Also, you may want to put that the paintings are Oils. I know it is the header but I think people still like to read it with the artwork.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Brett
