Hi Mrs Ahab
There ain't nothing wrong with being 'A tart for your Art' - keep pushing it (the art that is ;-) and good luck.
Just one small suggestion if I may (and I hope you won't be offended) I think I recognize some of the stones/places in your pictures but am not sure. I might be wrong but I suspect some people might like to have a place name/title attached to a painting so that they can more readily relate to it?
