I am in the 3x3 ATC SWAP even though it says I'm not in any swats. I can't figure out how to change it! I am 49 and live in Texas. I have 3 sons, all moved out, so I thought this would be a really fun way to connect with other artists! I love the out of doors and love to paint and draw nature and the human figure. My favorite colors are yellows, blues, and warm reds. My favorite style is anything out of doors and old world style.I am an avid doll collector. I love animals and trees and flowers. I prefer original art. I do not like gothic or nudes and I am not a smoker.

Favorite books are historical novels, one called A Bride Most Begrudging about the women who came across as potential wives for the pilgrims. I also love books about the lives of famous artists and musicians.Just read a great on of Renoir.

Out of Africa; Stripes; Ferris Bueller''s Day Off; In Her Shoes; Monalisa Smile; The Client; and lots more!!!

Yanni; Christian contemporary; Broadway; good rock and roll!!

Frasier; The Golden Girls; Law and Order; Rita Rocks; HGTV,(I wish they had more craft shows and not so much redecorating!!!) Old movies with Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall; etc

I love oil painting, watercolor, and drawing. I also love ceramics and throw and fire clay at home...when I can find my potter's wheel amongst the garage monsters!!
