So worried about coming across as “look at me.” But on the other hand there is that internal drive I think we all have, wishing we could show people what we are up to.

I’ve had some cyberbullying going on and part of me worries the bullies are making fun of my paintings behind my back, which has made me hesitant to post. But my husband says, people who do that aren’t very good people, so who cares what they think, let them be like that! And that made sense to me.

So I might make my Pinterest page public again, etc.

Thank you for being so kind to me, I appreciate it. 😍

I’m really attracted to using a palette knife but it seems so easy that I worry it’s not “real painting” or something.

It does use up more paint, using a palette knife, but I mostly paint very small works so maybe it’s not that big of a deal. I did notice one painter I watch sometimes on YouTube, from Montana, does only large palette knife paintings and he uses student grade paint which I’m sure is more economical for palette knife painting, and I wonder if that’s what most artists use for palette knife paintings.
