I've commented something about this before, but your step by step photos from start to finish help me see why and how to get through a painting. I'm probably a couple hours away from any cities that have workshops --- (other than Bob Ross type paintings... don't get me wrong I love Bob Ross... he seemed like such a kind, talented painter... but his style isn't what I want to paint) --- and I would love to see even more step by step and in-progress paintings. Do you have online workshops?Lana Manishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984967027046436970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232926489233648630.post-6934440013642105892015-05-02T04:48:41.687-07:002015-05-02T04:48:41.687-07:00Thanks for the great info, Carol.

It's harder and harder for me to lug the stuff, so I am looking for something I can put on wheels or carry easily. This will be my summer, I think, to cut back on the stuff. Of course, I will keep all the reserves in the car……Carol Marine is an awesome model for stripping down to the minimal.
