I enjoy taking digital photos of my art after I finish a painting so I can crop it and load it onto my website.  I always take my photos of my paintings outside.  I enjoy photographing subjects as well as painting them. 

I have Printmaster Gold 17 and also Corel Photo Album 6.  I have used Printmaster for several years.  These are both nice software.   

My husband and daughter influence me and keep me painting when sometimes I think I really don't want to.  Our daughter has seen me grow as an artist as well as my husband and I do appreciate them in all that they do to help me such as critiqueing, what they think I should do to improve the overall painting.

My spiritual life is the most rewarding but my husband and daughter are the next and even our granddaughters look at my work and make their comments.  My oldest granddaughter is following in the art of drawing, pastels, and colored pencil.  She does want to learn to oil paint and wants me to give her some instruction on the techniques of oil painting.  I did show her some things that she wanted to know but she likes to try this on her own.
