Yo...Happy Anniversary, Judith, and congratulations!<br />Your blog has been very helpful and inspiring.<br />Your blog has always been a great way to spend time over a cuppa or 2, and your stories of making it in a tough economical environment as a professional artist have been very interesting. <br />Keep up the super blogging, Judith, and congrats again.<br /><br />From one of your Aussie fans,<br />Mike.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085501925776767124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350562909222800870.post-34678592977835782102013-04-01T05:46:59.366-07:002013-04-01T05:46:59.366-07:00Dear Judith, it is very nice to feel your enthusia...Dear Judith, it is very nice to feel your enthusiasm for painting and life, through your blog.<br />Alsofor me the blog was and is a great source of personal fulfillment.The shift from 'painter for myself "a person who paints to show off and also to sell her own work" happened, right around November 2012.<br />Another miracle was to find a painter highly respected and highly rated in the world of painting that makes me as a mentor, giving a more professional dynamic to the way I act. I can understand every word of what you explained in your post and I share the joy of knowing that this happens, it makes you happy and makes me happy when I read!<br />Ad maiora, dear Judith!

Your work is beautiful. I particularly like your work with flowers. My mum used to be a keen water colourer (if that's the phrase) but has got out of the habbit as life has got in the way. I am really eager to show her your blog to see if it re-ignites her passion. Have a wonderful Easter.
