I can hardly believe that 100 folks are interested in what I have to say! I mean, I have 700+ on my instagram, but this feels more real and more significant. I was so tentative to join this platform... but I'm glad that I did! I am meeting very interesting people, and finding new motivation to create! So, thank-you, Steemians, for being so welcoming to me!

To celebrate, I'm going to share another painting! This is easily my most popular piece... also one of the first ones I did when I was getting back into painting last summer.


WHALE_8x10.jpg
Seems fitting that I chose the whale painting, right? :)


It's mstafford@mstafford's favourite, so we have a big canvas copy of it hanging in our living room:

The dogs clearly think it's pretty great.


And, my Dad, who lives a couple hours north of us, has taken to carrying my work around with him and trying to sell it and get it hung in various places:

That's our dad, somebuttstuff@somebuttstuff , and me enjoying some drinks at the Shady Rest in Qualicum Beach under the watchful eye of my whale. The staff were excited about this and insisted on taking a photo! I think though that I'm going to take a page out of somebuttstuff@somebuttstuff's book and stop smiling for photos... I look a little crazy!


What should I paint next? I am currently working on some Australian critters at aussieninja@aussieninja 's suggestion, but I would love to have a list of things to try! Should I try painting a dinosaur? A wolf? I have been thinking of trying my hand at fashion paintings too...

Bring on the suggestions, and don't forget to drop an upvote, share widely, and comment!


If you would be interested in buying a copy of this or any of my other paintings (many more to share yet!), please contact me. Painting fills me with joy, and if I can spread that joy to others, well, that's a life worth living!


Many many thanks, peace & love!
