Hello from Washington!
I'm new here and have been looking at all the beautiful work here. I am so impressed and awe struck. I hope that someday my artwork will reach the height of excellence that is the standard here. I am hoping just rubbing shoulders with you all will give me the incentive to obtain new heights. I am certain that I can learn from each of you.
Thank you for allowing me into this website.

Hello Dianne,
Welcome from another "Puget Sounder"! I live right across the water from you in West Seattle. And yes, SOG forums are a great place to pull up and dock to.  I am brand new to painting portraits and this place has literally taught me how to do it correctly incorporating several different techniques. Each moderator has such beautiful teaching skills and ways that will suit any style.
Enjoy!
~Geary

Thank you Geary. What a pleasure meeting someone from home! I think its going to take me a little while to figure out how this site works and just where the instructions are but I'm sure I'll get used to it. In the meantime, its nice to meet you and thank you for the warm welcome.
Dianne

Hey Diane! Glad to see you here too. I won't feel so alone being new though I suspect we have both been looking around for a while.

Hi Lisa,
I think you are right about posting here. I am so very humbled by the excellence of work. I feel like a beginner and I've been painting for 25 years or more. I hope to learn much much more through this site. I am just wondering if impressionism is not acceptable as a portrait style though. It would be nice to know before I start posting paintings.
I'm glad there is someone I know here Lisa! Welcome.
Dianne

Welcome, Dianne! I lived on Lummi Island off the coast of Bellingham many years ago, and I love that part of the country.
Your painting is very fresh and appealing. Is the medium watercolor?
While many of the artists who frequent this forum subscribe to a more realistic approach, impressionism is certainly well-represented here and is definitely acceptable.
Happy posting!
