Du Bois!

Hi Cynthia,

Welcome! Is it "Do Bwa", or "Do Boys"? I live in PA too, and drive by Du Bois several times in a year (I - 80, or Rt. 322). Although I'm in Philadelphia, the family homestead is right by the Pymatuning Resevoir, just east of Ohio.

Nice portraits! Is that second one a watercolor? I wish I had a studio like yours, is there any space left in your building?

Its good to have another Pennsylvanian in the bunch! I look forward to seeing more of you work.

Garth

Very nice work, Cynthia. The arm on the first one really comes right out at you.

Delusions aren't just relegated to the husbands. My wife suffers from the same.

Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing more of you.

Garth, Howdy neighbor! I can't believe that someone heard of Du Bois! That is "Do Boys". We don't have that refined French accent here. Please let me know if you will be passing through some time. How fun it would be to have a visit! My studio is about two miles from the I-80 Exit.

Yes, the second one is a 13" x15" watercolor.

Space is filling up fast. There is a karate studio and HD is putting in a meeting room/reception hall. I have reserved an additional 1300 square ft. Not sure what to do with it . Maybe move the classroom so my studio would be a separate space. Actually I wish I could cut back on the teaching and spend more time on painting. Life can be so busy!

Hi Cynthia,

Welcome to the forum, I'm a little late but just saw your portrait of the yound girl in another thread. I'm not qualified to give any critiques on it, as I stink in oils, but am replying here to say how impressed I was that it was your first one.

I'm with John, my wife is planning our life based on me being rich and famous. I'm waiting for my wife to do something big so I can quit my job and paint all day! We're gonna be homeless.

Hope you enjoy yourself here and looking foward to your participation and the website.
