So interesting to hear about your process - we all work in such individual ways, which is also ever changing if you are experimental in any way, as you obviously are! I often change paintings years later, these works are always in progress for me. I varnished one of my works and really regretted it and had to find a varnish remover so I could continue to work on the painting!<BR/>If you do your testing and "try outs" on a canvas, using mixed media, you can paint over the bits that don't work and keep the yummy bits and who knows what might appear!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013538024712245709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748277869905059222.post-72245716397181078622009-01-25T23:21:00.000+02:002009-01-25T23:21:00.000+02:00Dear Dianne, I loved the website and the watercolo...Dear Dianne, I loved the website and the watercolours are amazing. I can see the meditation coming through all your work. Maybe thats because as you say that the paintings take a long time to achieve. I tend to rush at mine which is why I am going to do lots of 'try out' ones, testing ideas, etc. first on paper with mixed media before I take the plunge, its probably why I often change a painting years later so I am thinking I may alter my working practice and think it through first, I'm not sure yet. Its like a journey but not knowing where you will end up finally! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748277869905059222.post-84942314667632842982009-01-25T21:17:00.000+02:002009-01-25T21:17:00.000+02:00Dear Soul and Liz,Thanks for the good wishes!Dear Soul and Liz,<BR/>Thanks for the good wishes!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013538024712245709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748277869905059222.post-38569155776040227802009-01-25T21:15:00.000+02:002009-01-25T21:15:00.000+02:00Dear Cynthia,I'm not sure why the photo's took so ...Dear Cynthia,<BR/>I'm not sure why the photo's took so long to download, maybe I should downsize the photo's even further before uploading them onto the site. <BR/>You mention you have taken a week off blogging, It's amazing how people just pick up where you left off, no matter how long the break. <BR/>Hope you get to see my "Meditation" painting, this is a breakthrough painting - painted while spending 8 months in the United Arab Emirates.

I haven't been able to post until today. A week off! I've been shoved into the real world head first. Argh. I wrote about my preference for the lovely side of life! I was hoping to look at your Meditations painting...I'll try again in a few minutes.

I built my site from scratch about a year and a half ago, and while I like the versatility you get by doing it yourself, it is a real chore to update. So, your remark that your site is "very easy to update whenever the need arises" makes me think I should look into synthasite.com. You have a nice, clean, professional looking site that is easy to navigate.<BR/><BR/>Re your question about selling, I don't have the answer either, but there is a Google group called "Daily Painters" where you can find a wealth of information in the discussions about all aspects of the business of art. You can search the group's archives for topics you're interested in.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Mineke Reindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706124823776632301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748277869905059222.post-31848661912997133802009-01-24T01:21:00.000+02:002009-01-24T01:21:00.000+02:00Congrats, Dianne,,,,it looks great, and I love the...Congrats, Dianne,,,,it looks great, and I love the painting Ice Roses in your Watermedia section,,,it is gorgeous!<BR/>I know even less than those who've already responded on your question of sales,,,but all the best luck to you!~Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912644174343772017noreply@blogger.com
