I have so thoroughly enjoyed learning a new medium and feel that I am slowly getting the hang of it. Last January the workshop was with Daniel Keyes. If you love floral paintings, look this painter up. His work is truly gorgeous! Most of my oils have been sold, but there are a few available for purchase on www.DailyPaintworks.com ________________________________________________________ BLOG: I have fired up a blog which has proven a challenge to keeping up! I hope to post the occasional essay, as well as keep subscribers up to date on works coming out of the studio. www.Nicolettapaintspot.blogspot.ca _________________________________________________________ |
