Is this your fence? I don't know whose fence it is. I received this picture in an e-mail and couldn't believe how much it looked like my Prismacolor pencils. Now, if someone was creative enough to paint the fence this way, I wonder what kind of artist they are. I'm thinking this fence could easily belong to someone like Dave Brethauer or Karen Lockhart. Both are genius's in my book when it comes to coloring with pencils. Speaking of Karen Lockhart, she has agreed to come and teach next May (yes, not until 2008) at The Great Yosemite Stamp Escape. I am so excited about this because maybe (fingers crossed here) I will learn to properly color with my beloved pencils. I am almost embarrassed to say I have every color they make and don't really use them much. From time to time, I will use my pencils with Gamsol to achieve a blended/shaded look, but not that often. Come on May, I can't wait! If you are interested in coming to the retreat, click the link above for more info. Sharon should be finalizing the details soon and uploading the 2008 registration form. Aside from Karen Lockhart, the other instructors are: Michael Strong from Michael Strong Rubber Stamps, Lynell Harlow from Dreamweaver Stencils and Gail Ellison from ArtLenz.On another front, I am looking for a new digital camera. I am looking for: simple, point and shoot with decent zoom. I want a camera that will allow me to photograph my cards/artwork and the beautiful nature/scenery around where I live. Any suggestions?
