Water soluble oil paints & palette knives
16. Water soluble oil paints were added to my repertoire in 2005. These paints are the perfect solution/compromise for me, since I never cared for acrylics and oil paints are too toxic and slow drying. I have recently learned that water soluble oils are more environmentally friendly than oils or acrylics, and this is important to me. The palette knife is my preferred tool over the brush, because it is cleaner, more physical and textures are easier to create.
17. I strive to be a creative catalyst in everything I do. Creative problem solving revs my juices and the satisfaction of facilitating someone in solving a problem or doing so with my work, makes life worthwhile.
18. Computers and technology are necessary for survival, yet it is best said that I have a love-hate relationship. Over the years, I have forced myself to learn various software programs and I have tried to stay current with Internet trends. Knowing PhotoShop Elements, Power Point & Word is a godsend, as well as maintaining websites of various renditions. Fortunately, my in-house technical assistant, Bob, has supported me in all of these endeavors, unfortunately neither of us has a full comprehension of social networking!
