And your lifesaver is bringing so much enjoyment to me, and I'm sure so many more.

Sandi, I agree with Beth, your art has brightened my days. The lighthouse is a keeper and the birds on a wire are too cute.

Sandi, i know for alcohol ink paintings they use the back side of photo paper. Not sure if that would work for you but alcohol ink painting is similar to watercolors but using alcohol instead of water.

A neighbor of mine where I grew up, decided to take an art class when she was in her 70's. She had never picked up a paint brush before then. Her paintings (acrylic) were amazing! She made just enough paintings for each of her kids and grandkids and then she stopped painting.

I have had an interest in arts and crafts since I was little. My favorite classes in school were always art classes.

I was not sure if I should post this wondering whether in my attempt to be “artistic” you might think the bike exploded. :lol:

Oh! Sandi! The bike is beautiful. Would like to have that sitting on the balcony. I’m a little partial to flowers. :D

I was just thinking I really liked the speckled background when you posted about it looking exploded! Leave it alone.
