David Bromstad is one of my favorites, but the episode they are showing now is the one where he paints a moose. Ugh.

Hehehe I see that you managed to find it

! You are so talented!

^^hehehe

You only have to tell me once!

And thanks - I don't feel talented. I watched "documentary" on a 4 year old on Encore or HBO or something whose paintings sell for $10K +

I've only sold mine in the hundreds so far. LOL!

Now:

Now it looks FABU-LASS! I love it!

I got started at the call for entries at the local art center - that's where I sold my first one. Then our company had a booth at one of the realtor shows and nothing to "do" so they had me paint one there and drew for a winner. After that, people started calling me to donate (on behalf of my company) for silent auctions at various functions. After that, I started selling a few. But I don't have a website where I sell or a gallery or anything. Just word of mouth. But I work too much to try anything right now. And I SUCK at marketing. LOL!

OT but someone should go in all the "chat" threads in the various sub-forums and let everyone know this sub-forum is here! I just found out about it yesterday!

I've been planning to re-decorate my whole house! I inherited this house from my grandpa, so you can imagine the actual decoration lol. My fave home decor show used to be "Changing Rooms", when Lawrence Llewelyn-Bower used to actually design instead of host. I loved every single one of his ideas!

irishlass - you've got a great, creative eye for decorating! my favorite piece is that trunk in your living room/fireplace area! where did you find it? i've been searching for a nice trunk to use as a coffee table, but have had no luck...

irishlass1029 · Jan 12th, 2009, 02:35 PM

You won't believe it, but I got it at (are you sitting down?) Lacks! LOL!
