It is nice to have your peers enjoy your work and especially nice when they take the time to write you and let you know. I know you will fill your hours with expressive painting now that the last bird has flown from the nest. <BR/> Art is such a wonderful path to be on and the journey is never dull. If you are beginning the journey, somewhere in the middle, or near the end, always remember to enjoy where you are at that moment. <BR/> I am so honored to have been an inspiration to you and I am sure I will be reading articles from you in future issues of Watercolor Artist! Happy Painting!Cathy Hegmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012383413652142612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507232291477332174.post-819025718088376052008-06-22T04:59:00.000-07:002008-06-22T04:59:00.000-07:00Dear Nancy,Thank you for the kind words about the ...Dear Nancy,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the kind words about the article in Watercolor Artist Magazine. I loved writing it and sharing the technique. I have used Strathmore Plate Bristol and it is a good paper board and you will enjoy it. Bristol if very forgiving and easy to work with. I use the Strathmore Bristol and I use Multimedia board as well.<BR/> I appreciate you checking my website. I checked it as soon as I read your comment and it is working fine. I don't know why it did not load for you. Please try it again and I hope it works for you this time. Thank you again for the comments and taking the time to view my website.Cathy Hegmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012383413652142612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507232291477332174.post-22403785102561275152008-06-21T10:58:00.000-07:002008-06-21T10:58:00.000-07:00Hi Cathy,I saw your art in Watercolor magazine and...Hi Cathy,<BR/>I saw your art in Watercolor magazine and want to say I just LOVE your work! I've only been painting a few years and have been struggling to build by skills to the level that I can express what I'm trying to, but when I "grow up" I want to be just like you! I love the combination of mediums, the bright color, but you pull it off in a way that isn't cartoony. Your subjects are light hearted without being silly. Realistic yet abstract, cerebral yet full of feeling. Planned yet spontaneous. So Cool! My last child just left home as well and we just moved to a semi rural area in Oregon to start this chapter of our lives. Well, happy painting! You have inspired me immensely!<BR/>KarenKarina Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677621935025035089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507232291477332174.post-74698747890395562132008-06-19T09:04:00.000-07:002008-06-19T09:04:00.000-07:00Cathy, My Watercolor Artist magazine came yesterda...Cathy, My Watercolor Artist magazine came yesterday and I read your article first. I love your colors and want to study more about gouache. I've taken workshops with Carla O'Connor and Donna Zagotta. For some reason your website was not working this morning. Have you used Strathmore Plate Bristol? I've ordered some but haven't tried it yet. Again, great article.Nancy Standleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822619763936348538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507232291477332174.post-58190864605390413602008-06-16T15:26:00.000-07:002008-06-16T15:26:00.000-07:00Hey, that's a nice write up about the colors and t...Hey, that's a nice write up about the colors and the play between them.
