Dee's name is Nadine. She painted her first picture at the age of 10. With watercolors given to her by an artist. On the back of a cereal box, she painted a woman with blonde hair, pink lips and sparkly earrings. With the colors running down the cardboard, she hurried to show it to the artist. He looked at it. Without smiling, he said:
'Never paint from your mind. Always use a model.'
Being 10 years old, she wondered where she would find a model.
The art was put away and she turned to writing. Several of her poems, articles and short stories have been published in magazines.
Ten years ago, she went back to drawing and painting. She feels she has been lucky. A lot of her work has sold. One work done in ink was purchased for a magazine cover.
Four years ago, she allowed herself to be talked into putting her art online. Her website is: http://moonbeamsandrainbows.net
Nadine feels that art should be affordable to everyone. If someone likes a work of art, they shouldn't have to take out a loan to purchase it. For that reason, she tries to keep her original art at an affordable price. On her website, prints of her original art can be purchased and then downloaded.
Nadine is new to FanArtReview and says: 'In every art piece I've done, there is a flaw. I don't change it. I find the flaws make the art more interesting.
I believe only God can create perfection. I try to do the best that I can.
I love art. Drawing, painting and looking at it.
I've had no formal training or instruction in art. It's something I enjoy doing and I find it relaxes me."

How many reviews do you have to receive in order to link from one's profile to one's site? Does anyone know? And where do you find the link on FAR to add to your own site?

Echo7 : What excatly are you needing to do Dee? Not quite sure about what you need. If you need a link for FAR...just go to your profile page here & copy the address in your menu bar...top of screen. That should provide a direct link. Then add to your own site with html

Two of my works have received a blue ribbon. I was, at first, very pleased. Now, I'm tapping my fingers on my temples and wondering if I'm in the same class as elephant poop?

Ok, I have to say it. In regards to adding more color to the faces I draw, have any of you ever seen a Canadian during a Canadian winter? One that doesn't take a vacation to a warmer climate and one that doesn't frequent tanning salons?

DeeM757 : Yes, Pat and we can be almost as white as that snow pile too. LOL
