thanks so much...i am very happy to be back in the studio...inspired by what i saw on the road!! amping up towards a show in july (my first out of state show in a real gallery!)
I like you am hard at work....lots of things in the making. I have just finished two pieces and have a blank canvas calling my name :-) I hear voices :-)
Diedra, great to see the new work and it was nice to see you last night. We'll see you on the float!
wow Dierdra, just wonderful amazing artworks. thank you.
thank you so much...I have been a little absent from the group for the past few weeks...jamming on the production of a float for a late mardi gras parade this week...but people like you make the trip back to this wonderful place so so worth it...thank you so much again!
Hi hope you are well, I know that you have been getting ready for the event this Saturday.wishing you well and hope to see you there.
thanks...been pretty straight out...starting to see the light of day though! I hope to see you on saturday!
Thank you ,I used to work at an animal hospital and was given a crow to nurse back to health after it was shot . Great ending ,I released him where he was found and whenever I walked my dog in that area he would come down and fly tree to tree as we walked.
Honey, try to save your fists for the painting.
Made it through unscathed...thanks...there was a time I taught kickboxing in a former life...so I really do understand the sport of the fights...and being an amateur level (golden gloves that is) you get to really see the drama of kids reaching for their dreams...PLUS...I took pictures for a painting...pugilists are always good subjects! So all in all...time well spent and fists are good as new!
Thank you Dierdra, very much appreciate the kind words. i have some work showing at a gallery in your general area if interested. The Darkroom Gallery, Essex, VT. " The Human Form" opens Jan 25th. All the best to you!!

thanks so much rose...fighting the stream today...turned down by another gallery...i feel like I am bashing my head into a wall...
What brand of acrylic paints do you use?
I am using Holbein Matt acrylics. They are a bit more expensive, but I really like the body and feel of them. Plus I feel good knowing that I am using a really quality product. (if I ever should happen to sell ANYTHING!)
Thank you so much! I am still using acrylic paint from walmart! But i am looking into getting better paint supplies!
Saw melancholia a few months ago! I felt the same way! Its a beautiful movie! And you are a very talented artist!
Thanks so much... I am interested in getting the movie eventually so that I can go to it for visual inspirtation!
Thank you for the stars, and even more so for the wonderful comments you left on my page. Your help in deciding which of my pieces are the best, meant so much to me.
Dierdra WELCOME TO WIP! Your personal forum is now available for you here:) http://groups.bluecanvas.com/WORK-IN-PROGRESS/forum/post/2073
Happy birthday. I guess you were successful getting your art where it was going. Really, some of this work really is well...masterful. At any rate best wishes.
I did get my package out..thank you. I am sure the writing will get published somewhere eventually. I will know if the mag took the piece in early Jan. If not there's a better fit for it! Thank you for your belief in my work...I am humbled. In gratitude, love, and happiness!
Dierdra, best wishes connecting the your files to the contest. That can really hurt when you have put so much work into something. Hold on.
Love to hear an update about your show when you get a chance :))
show is still hanging...and getting very good reception. Sold one print to someone who came to the show..nice. I am painting for a small show (5 pieces or so) that I hang this week. I am hoping that something will sell...I really need the income to keep painting like I do...I am making such ground being able to paint like this. So...I guess the show is going very well, thanks for asking!
Dierdra your work is truly stunning and incredible. When I have a bit more time will be back to spend some time in your portfolio.
Thank you Ramon...I have five canvases on my easels right now, furiously painting for a show that I will hang on Oct. 30...so hopefully my portfolio will grow very soon!
You have a great story! It inspires me because I am kind of in the same boat... I don't have an art major or anything but art is definitely a part of what I want to do. This is why I like Bluecanvas so much. ^^ I like finding other artists with the same dreams!
I have also found this space to be very supportive. I have been searching for this sort of place for a bit!
It is my intent to check out everyones else's page and respond to all the kindness...the little I have seen speaks of amazing company that I have stumbled into!
I am working on taking some higher res photos of my work so I can offer them for sale in print media...please be patient I am hoping to have my "poop in a pile" by next week!


















Such beautiful work, Dierdra
