I've always painted, but digital art began as a fun little pastime for me in the winter of 2003 when a friend gave me PhotoShop,(Thanks, Sandi-mouse!) and it is taking me on a very cool journey. Here are some of the places where I play and connect with the real world......

Karen Bonaker's forum where I'm am member and plan to teach classes soon
http://paintertalk.net
Marilyn Sholin's forum where I'm a moderator
http://www.digitalpaintingforum.com/
Phyllis Stewart's forum where I'm a moderator/admin
http://www.innographx.com/forum/

Here's a site where some poker paintings I did are for sale. Don't worry that they're by Darci Faulkner.........that's me, too! Long story...... :) http://www.nostalgiaart.com/darci_home.html

Some of my paintings are featured at Epixicards where you can send free virtual cards

Helyn Broadhurst shows some of my painting in her beautiful galleries

And I do commission work. If you'd like me to do a painting of best kitty, your house,
or the love of your life, drop me a note here on PBase, and we'll see what we can work out.
Thanks for visiting my galleries and for your encouragement. It means a lot.

Yes, you do have talent... no doubt about that. But it would be better if you also had some humility and gratitude... both clearly missing in your character. Please update this page. Many links do not go anywhere. Remove the blurb claiming you are a moderator at The Inn, since your behavior was so unbelievably rude and selfish that I deleted your account and name from our member list. I did, however, keep many of your posts. I just removed the ones where you returned after several years to a warm welcome, and we later learned your motive was, again, selfish: you just wanted to announce your blog. Then we never heard from you again. Yes, you have artistic talent, but no, you are not a good person, turning your back on friends like that without even a word to me about your plans. You may be winning awards, but the final reward will depend not on what is in your painted image, but rather on what is in your character and actions toward others. I don't think you will even get honorable mention. Probably will be at the bottom where you deserve to be.

Fantastic collection of art cat.......I think most people do not realise the skills that you need as a artist to be able to get your thoughts and designs on to the screen or into print........digital painting is a very skilful discipline, and your work is always a delight to browse through,keep em coming.
