A quick few words with some updates and pictures...Edited and more added to bottom of this post! Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I noticed I have some more followers! Thanks so much!
I also would like to let everyone know I have a new WIP(work in progress) I am adding to one of my art pages. It's just something of a quick sketching practice for me right now until I perfect it. That way I can just improve on my skills and feel more confident in my ability to replicate from photo, still life or live model references. It's an area where I feel most challenged as of right now. Please find edited added info below!

I have also been thinking of losing some of the ads on my site (except the hosting ones added by bravenet of course) and possibly add a donate button. It's in the mind as an idea, but not quite a set on page thing yet.

I will be editing this post later when I finish with my webpages in order to post links to the pages I have worked on today, so with that in mind, please feel free to come back here to my Art Pages blob and see if it has been updated, so you see if I have finished my webpage working today!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

PS- I am also looking for some great learning links for others to use to better their talents and skills as an artist.
Find these on Page 3 and Page 4:
You can find one new addition here : Titled Salt.

You can find one here also: Angel water color painting:  please scroll down to find her!

You can find another new addition here: Titled Fox WIP on the main page and here is a look for yourself.

You can find a few newly added photography here
I am also adding some more, I just need to locate them and add my CR mark to them so that I can add them!
Only 3 are added right now, please scroll down to find them near the bottom!

Art pages 5, 6 and 7 are all newly added. They have some really old drawings and paintings and some new sketches.
I have added a links page for some great offers, the heading is "Other Links", but I also have a links section on my "Home" page where I share links to other artists links as well.

Here is a little more about me.

Information about my site

Since this is my first real blog posting with more information about my site. I am just going to tell you the story of how everything came about, in a nutshell!

My website; showcasing my art, has come a very long way! The website itself started as just me playing around with html and creating a website for something to do. I didn't have any topics or any general idea of what the website would be about. But now that I have put more focus on my creativity, it has become so much more than just a regular website!

Over the years I have entered free HTML courses online; to learn more about website creation, for personal knowledge, of course! I had also join groups online for graphics programs, I gained knowledge and bettered my creativity in the process. These all being FREELY learned online, as a personal hobby. With these courses I took, I gained certification of completion! Even though those certifications were small, they gave me a sense of pleasure, knowing I had finished something I wanted for myself. Just simple things like that can give someone confidence to want to do more and better things for themselves!

I am going through my pages on my website and than when I am finally done that I will post what is new, my next blog posting with be a bit of an introduction.

Happy Easter!

Ann

About this Blog

Hello!
And this is my blog for my art website! This is the place you would want to be if you wanted to know if anything new has been added, and to where. Without this blog you would have to go to the website and go through all the many different pages to find anything new and try to guess what or where it might be!

This is also a great place to leave comments and or feedback about what you think, what you might like to see, or maybe even some opinion of changes you wouldn't mind seeing! You can make requests, set a challenge for me( if I am up to the challenge) or anything else you might have in mind for my art pages!

Please have a look around while I am still working and will add some new added updates here later one!

Thanks for taking the time to view!
