[@saltwaterjoyskelleyjoyce-f8114]

I was discouraged in high school from pursuing a fine arts program, by my parents. They meant well, but I wish I hadn't believed it when they told me that I couldn't make a living from art, especially considering what I liked to draw (DRAGONS!, fantasy in general). 'It's very good, but who would buy that?' - quote from my father about a dragon I showed him I was working on (I later sold it for $20, incompleted, the guy wanted it so bad). The worst part was, that after grade 11, I let my creativity sit on the back burner for many many years. I am so happy to have found you and Ginger (and Angela and Jane, Clive...) and your associated art communities. I know I can talk art with you guys and not be given 'that look'. This 'live' really resonated with me! But now I really regret letting myself get talked down on the price of the paintings I sold on Canada Day weekend.

[@NikiWolf]

Kelley, your comment hit home for me... I had a similar experience, except it was my art teacher who said something like that. I too was highly interested in fantasy art in school (dragons, unicorns, etc). We were supposed to start prepping for our Senior year gallery show, starting near the end of our Junior year. She pressed me to change my style to anything other than dragons and such, saying "no one will take you seriously as an artist", and tried to push me into children's books illustration. I resented her for it, and worse, my first and favorite art teacher, did nothing to interfere with the comments from the second art teacher. It ended up driving me away from the art program and I switched to music the following year. I probably didn't pick up a pencil to even doodle until maybe five years later, and even then it was sporadic after that. I'm trying to change that and be more active in art in some form or another these days.

[@sandraodell1072]

When I was in Elementary School, Fine Art was considered "Still Life". The apple or pear, with a vase, sitting on a table. While attempting this project, trying to draw this on a sheet of white construction paper, doing the best a Fourth Grader could, my teacher walked up. The first thing out of her mouth was, "Oh, dear, you have done that all wrong! Weren't you listening to me at all? You should not attempt to do Art, you have no Artistic Talent! You need to concentrate on your studies and not try this again!" To this day, I will not paint fruit on a table with a vase! I shudder at the thought each time I see it! Talk about a "Dream Killer"! I enjoy watching you and all the inspirational ideas I can attempt. I am a Certified Elite Decorative Painting Instructor and Certified Ceramics Instructor in several different companies. It took a long time for me to get over the negative comments by my teacher. Picking up a paint brush and using the talents Heavenly Father had given me, was one of the hardest things I ever did. As teachers, we must always be aware of what kind of impact our words can have on our student's lives.

[@maryannhalstead1526]

Your comment hit home to me in a very deep way. My parents (my mom in particular) discouraged my pursuit of art for the very same reason. I'm now almost 50 and with my parents now having passed on, I'm stretching my creative wings once again and am so very happy to be back at the easel. Cinnamon, Ginger, Angela, Jane and so many others have helped me to relearn a lot of what I had forgotten and I am forever grateful.

[@suellyn557]

Love seeing you both together since I watch both throughout the week. I retired from the work force two years ago and needed a hobby. Last year I began with the paint-n-sip sessions with a friend and enjoyed the process of painting. Then went thru right side shoulder surgery putting painting on hold for six months. I have recovered enough to get back into painting and follow both of you and Clive5art. On a side note, my mother was a novice acrylic painter for many years and tried to get me to pick this up. Mom passed away last year at age 92 so she never knew that I had finally picked up her hobby. I just wish I had inherited her talent. Love you guys and thank you for putting yourselves out there on the internet for the many people who need this much needed escape and loving vibes you send out. You are the best!

[@donnapaliotti6397]

Owning a GINGER COOK PUZZLE would be an HONOUR! Loved watching both of you together. I hope to see you on many more videos. I just started painting 6 months ago but my family keep asking me for my paintings. I have been giving them away because I don't have enough place to put them. I guess I never think of myself as an artist because I'm just starting out. Maybe one day I can be in an art show. That would be so incredible! If evr that happens, it will be because of all the things I learnt from both of you. THANK YOU!

[@susanzolton6730]

I laughed with you two. This was great. My daughter spent a great deal of $ on student lawns to fulfill her dream of an ARTS degree. Most of the family and friends were brutal with her, constantly asking her how she would make a living. She stayed with her dream and currently is a teacher & director of education at a local art studio. I'm now retired (nurse) and am enjoying finding my creative side. Thanks to both of you for helping me with this. You are both a treasure!

[@gingercooklive]

thanks Susan, we appreciate the art community on KZbin and you will find we are a special group of loving and caring folks. Art brings light and love into the world.

[@helendenoia6840]

Amazing! You and your mom are so down to earth I love your life learned stories I would love to hear more. . You and your mom should do more chats together . The passion &'electricity you both have for art is so heart felt it's contagious . You have no idea how exciting and warm you both are . Thank you ! Loved this . Thank you John for keeping the ladies in check lol. I love the puzzle when I see the shop& village paintings I imagine myself walking around visiting the stores Nice Dream. Thanks again Hellie

[@dbenchellal]

I love you ladies! My mom and I have arted together for years, and we really enjoy watching y'all. We do most of our art supply shopping together and met Ginger at Jerry's before they moved. I was there with my list and mentioned it was from Ginger's tutorials, and the lady at the front said she's teaching in the back, want to meet her? Ginger was so nice and showed us where to find the canvas pads she uses. I dream of one day selling, and mom is one that enjoys it more as a hobby. Anyways, thank you for making the idea of art as a hobby and business more accessible to all!

[@glendamosley3946]

I absolutely love the paintings . Did not know about the puzzles but for sure will start looking for them now. I love the one on the table and would love to know what stores sells them. Thank you so much!

[@TheArtSherpa]

I would have to ask my Mom is they are still available 🤍

[@artbysonyabadgley]

Just downloaded The Mystery of Making It onto my kindle! Can't wait to read it! Thanks so much for the time you took share your info with us!! I started painting when I was in high school. And oh how I loved my art teacher! I would spend ALL day in her class! And sometimes she would say to me...Um Sonya, don't you think you should go to your other classes? And would say, oh please don't make me! LOL!!! Then I got married and had 3 children and worked ALL the time and had to put my painting on the back burner till I was 48 years old!!! And NOW it's on the FRONT burner and there it will stay till the day I die! Thank you for the chance to win your puzzle Ginger! Love you both!

[@robincote9191]

HI, This was a super get together and I am looking forward to more, I was shopping with my husband in December 2015, and every year he has me let him know what II want for Christmas , I saw an artist set in a wooden case and right then and there I knew that was what I wanted for Christmas more than anything else. I did get it too, on Christmas morning there it was with the other presents under the tree. Well none of the presents has given me more joy and peace than that set with its tiny 1 painting size tubes of paint. Since Christmas I have painted at least 1 painting a day and sometimes more, the benefits of painting have helped more than I can express. NOW HERE I HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU HAVE MADE ME GROW. Since painting along with you and others on you tube I receive requests for some of my paintings and this gives me enourmous pride and encouragement. My husband says my skills are getting better and is very supportive. He says keep painting baby your gonna be good, YOU ARE DOING GREAT imagine how good you will be in a year you have come so far now. So thankyou thank you for your time energy and lessons and sharing your knowledge. I am a nurse wo is disabled, retired and had felt that I had no contribution to make in life ,Painting has shown me a way to live so I cant say enough thankyous or express my gratitude.

[@gingercooklive]

Great story Robin, keep painting because no matter how long I have been painting, I still see improvement every year. Its a growth journey into the soul and heart.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so so so much for this beautiful comment

[@elenab4160]

What two beautiful ladies, both inside and out so caring and sharing. God Bless you both.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you! You too!💚💚

[@cfalviso87]

it's so cool to see mom and daughter artists , very talented. Art is a gift and runs in the family.

[@jacihaakonson640]

What arrest show. Really enjoyed this. Puzzle. Love them and own some of Gingers puzzles. How cool!

[@anitaholmes6824]

I am always behind in watching your videos ....life gets in the way .....so when I saw that you and Ginger were both on....I think I started vibrating with excitement! I LOVED it and hope you do this again and again. You made me laugh right out loud, so enjoyed seeing more than Gingers hands.....I love her channel so much. I have never sold a painting....my husband seriously loves them too much and even tho' I have run out of wall space and I am thinking sooner than later I will grow out of my house with all the paintings...LOL....I paint for the enjoyment and nothing else, I love it. So having rambled on and on I want to mention the puzzle....I am not sure if my heart could take winning it, seriously, it may not be a good idea....LOL. I would not even ask you for the missing piece.....please do more videos together to just talk about art. You made me so happy tonite. I am now going to the next one I see is up. Love you both to death. Hugs

[@Tricia123B]

OMgosh, so laughing out loud...'would not even ask for the missing piece' hahahaha. I bet your such a fantastic artist you would paint one to fit in if needed. Wow a house full of paintings, that is wonderful!

[@lynnquin8565]

These two look more like sisters and mother & daughter! Seriously talented and beautiful.

[@angemac1519]

You two are so great together, I could watch & listen to you all day. Thank you x

[@garyinsalaco9530]

Great to see you both together ! People should not be fooled by the humor and chit chat ,these two ladies are very skilled artist ! I foe one have learned so much from Ginger ! So thank you both ,I send love and gratitude to you both ! Keep up the antics and the great lessons !

[@TheArtSherpa]

💞💞

[@pattykelly6621]

Hi Cinnamon, John & Ginger. Wonderful show! And extremely valuable info - especially about pricing and art show booth strategies. I've been painting for more than 20 years but have never really had consistent sales at shows but that's gonna change. My reactions-to-being-an-artist story: My high school counselor pulled out the want ads from the local paper to show me there were no Artist Wanted ads. I shouldn't have listened - it was the 70's, everybody was an artist!

[@nordicpink]

Darn, Patty. That's was messed up of your teacher. I'm sure he didn't mean harm, but it was still just wrong. It's sad to see adults discourage kids. Kids have it hard enough with their esteem issues and such. I'm glad you still painted and are here today.

[@debbiecrucefix9657]

You and your mum are fantástico i following you i am painting the 30 day i am on the 5th painting now and so pleased with my outcome as with each painting i lern somthing new on every picture

[@Jamie-xw9nm]

Loved this so much! A very raw and real Q&A from 2 amazing ladies! I missed the live because I was at my first Art and Craft market of the summer, and I totally wish I had seen this first! But now I can take this information and bring it to my next market, and totally ROCK IT! Although I must admit that when I told my father I was going to make my living as an Artist, he had a total breakdown and booked me for a psychologist appointment! I can laugh now, but at that time I actually had quit painting for fear of severe retribution. This time I asked him not to fear for me but to be there to support me. Love me as I am and believe in me, like I believe in myself.

[@phatcher25]

This was quite fun and informative. Although I may not go pro, I wanted to post to what has been said about my painting. I am new, under 10 paintings. One of my first was "Lady in a Garden" video with Ginger. It turned out fantastic. So then I branch out into other styles of painting. Here is the quote, "Stick to stippling, that's what you're good at." --- So how do I know that's what I'm good at if I don't try everything's?!! 😘😝

[@sickincsickinc5735]

Oh snap.. I've been watching both of you guys channels and never new you were related... Cool.. Lots of talent in that family..

[@jill2048]

Love this - thank you both so so much!!! Puzzle! Craziest things that have been said to me about being an artist: What do you want to do that for? When will you finish it (about most pieces) You will only be successful when you're dead (cheery!) Art is only for kids (good job we never grow up!) :-) Always young at heart...

[@sgarrelts1]

Oh please do another one together! I so enjoyed your chemistry together.

[@helenroldan323]

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW CINNAMON IS GINGERS DAUGHTER AWESOME NEWS TO KNOW LOVE YOU BOTH

[@helenroldan323]

do you have any advice from how to sign my paintings that I do from your tutorials and I don't like the way my name looks on it

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

practice practice practice!! And I'm pretty sure Sherpa's mentioned it before... plus they look SOOO similar!

[@MotherGosling]

I just heard John say "alright spice girls..." and i cracked up! LOL ~ Lyn from New Zealand

[@mdeer124u]

I love you guys (girls) and your energy. I don't really want to sell.. I just want to paint my dreams.. and visions.. they are so vivid and alive inside of me and maybe write some children books so my grandchildren can be embraced by my love forever... Your energy is just so beautiful, and you give us such hope that we will see the day when we have painted our dreams.. Thank you.

[@skyemcdonald1156]

This was fabulous and I enjoyed it so much! Great job answering questions. I love you guys and love to see you together. ❤️😊

[@gingercooklive]

thanks Skye, really fun to do that, and I hope we got some good information out to people. Ginger

[@corinnateeter61]

So much fun to watch and listen to the two of you talk about your passion. You give such wonderful advice..Thank you 💜

[@TheArtSherpa]

Our pleasure!💚

[@vanessamonteith5740]

Love the energy of your tutorials Cinnamon, which I am used to by now, but Oh My Goodness!! You and your Mom together are AWESOME!! Lol Poor John is so cute trying to jump in with his comments/questions. This is such a great topic & we get 2 great artists opinions/tips in one show!! Happy viewer here for sure. . . Love all the tips and the puzzle give-away . . . Yeah!!!

[@movedon12]

This is great so much fun but interesting my two favourite artists don't ever change your just sunshine in a bottle(John your the best technician such a nice person) hugs to all🇬🇧🙋

[@KimSimful]

This was so awesome! I love seeing you two together! And it's always nice to see Ginger's face!! Do it again! Do it again! Puzzle!! I started painting because of you Cinnamon!

[@sarahviii]

I wish you’d do more of these types of videos…. Without the interruptions. I love the details you two ladies offer. I’d literally watch 3 hours videos of you two talking

[@marcimurray5922]

My husband loves charging just enough to cover the art supplies. The family keeps asking for a painting. Love listening to Ginger's family request for a painting.

[@stephaniesumpter4802]

PUZZLE) Thank you for this video. I have been practicing like crazy. I watch your videos and also Ginger lessons online. I truly feel like i'm becoming a stronger artist with your guidance. Thank you so much for also showing me to have confidence in myself and to just let go and enjoy my art. I"m 30 years old and finally feel like me.

[@TheArtSherpa]

That is a Beautiful comment thank you

[@ashwinisadekar]

Would love love love to receive a puzzle please

[@banisarkar411]

Hi Art Sherpa, your mum was familiar to me by her hands only. Recently I saw her appearance,and now she is your mum. Good , very good. Wish you all the best. From uk.

[@vickiehinthorne5545]

Cinnamon, I painted the blue door and it turned out GREAT! You make painting fun. Love the spice you bring to your tutorials. And yes I would love one of the puzzles. I have bought those puzzles before, but never new it was your mom's artwork. Love the two of you.

[@stacycobbartist]

I love this video. I have watched it several times as I am working towards becoming a professional artist. I chuckle every time you mention commission work and selling to friends/family. I have made all those pitfalls, and like you, have survived to tell the tale.

[@ZarpeParadise]

Great tips!!! I love you guys so much!!! This Mother's Day with the two of you at Momma Mia Art Retreat is going to be SPECTACULAR!! Regret I will miss it this year. I wish you ladies did this more. Split screen with the two of you talking would be so fabulous!❤

[@TheArtSherpa]

Noted 💗

[@ZarpeParadise]

THAT would be a real HOOT! 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜

[@gardenmist216]

I am only one third through the video but man am I ever glad that I stopped to watch this one. I have been watching many of cinnamon's videos and trying to tell my husband that I really want to give this a go I am quite artistic. and I am giving him some of the nuggets of info that you all 3 are giving and he is really wholeheartedly giving me the nod to go for it. Thanks ya'll from Blue ridge mountains in Georgia. Cinnamon I can't share a picture here but I had sno cone colored hair for quite some time.

[@TheArtSherpa]

Thank you so so so much

[@Faerysong1]

Awesome video....my grown son was here, while I was watching. When you were talking about family and friends wanting to "buy" your art, or volunteering you to do art for them, he looked over at me, and said "Hey Mom, does any of this sound familiar????" It sure did!..LOL

[@lindahall9562]

Wow I loved the video with Mike Monteiro and his lawyer from the icard. I am not a designer; but, I was a business owner for many years and practical advice can span a lot of areas of expertise!!

[@amandanichols1114]

Love this! Cakes, Photography, and now Painting are all passions of mine and one day I will find a way to make money incorporating all three! I love that you are both so willing to share your wisdom about the creative business world, there needs to be more of this type of conversation going on! Thanks again!

[@kvarie]

Thanks so much. You two are sweet, sincere and adorable. And... generous for sharing these important tips for us artists.

[@TheArtSherpa]

We both are so happy to share

[@gjb2001us]

This brings back memories. When I had my shop people would bring me pictures of everything to paint. And not just canvas They would buy the clothing in my shop and have me paint on a t-shirt and jeans, even. I ended up having to hire two people to help me paint.

[@katepierson5281]

Thank you for being so generous with your ideas. I sure love learning new things from you, what a joy to listen in with you and your mama!

[@khambri123]

I hate I had to leave the live feed!!!! I can't wait to watch replay! So much info :))) my dream come true would be to be a working artist but it seems so intimidating to start down that road LOL.

[@deborahm4484]

Hi cinnamon and ginger love you both so much fun to watch thanks so much, didn't know you were mother and daughter, xxxx

[@pw4075]

Still recovering from my recent hospital stay and slept through the time for the live feed (too many meds ... LOL) BUTt I have to say, you two together are such a wonderful mother/daughter tag team. Thanks for your valuable, real-world advice, and, again, for sharing the years of accumulative experiences and professional guidance. I am blessed having discovered you, ladies. BTW, I could be "puzzled"!

[@co9familyvtrt.v605]

This is so exciting to see wow finally i see you both in yutube i love you both and thanks to you john behind the camera helping your queen and sweet mother in law God bless you all for doing all what your doing for us who love arts and love to paint either beginners like me or pro.😊😊😊😍😍

Wonderful live chat thank you all for doing this. I'm new to painting and don't really have any stories to share but I love Gingers puzzles they look really awesome and would love to have a chance to win one. Thanks for doing the videos they are very helpful.

[@mollymuzette5860]

Good stuff! I hope you do more shows like this. You two are a treasure trove of knowledge and experience.

[@liliguidance]

That was amazing! As for my art story, I stopped drawing during 5th grade when my peers were ruthless. I picked up painting a month or so ago during one of those paint and sip parties. I am enjoying the learning process with both of you. Thank you for passing on the knowledge!

[@cathiee4750]

You two are awesome together! No one has asked me to paint for them yet. I'm just painting for pleasure right now.

[@janelle632]

That was very fun to watch. You two are a hoot! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm still just learning but someday it would be nice to sell just enough to buy more supplies. :) oh and puzzle :)

[@annaricks4699]

Watching this , I just found out you two were Mother and daughter.I have been watching you both. Love you both very much. Keep up the good work. Very informative.

[@annekeel2694]

[@aprilschaller2359]

U two together are so cute and amazing cinnamon if it wasn’t for me following u I wouldn’t b to manage my panic attacks and anxiety while being a new mom and artist so thank u 😊 u change people’s lives with the time u take to share and teach us pulse great at pep talk or building ur self esteem to know that we really can do anything. Thanks

[@luvurobert]

Wow! Very inspirational, ladies! I like to dream that I could one day sell my art. My family strokes my ego and tells me I should try, but I don't think I have the confidence quite yet. Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful tips!! =)

[@icegypsy99]

this was such a huge help . recently sold my first piece. when the topic of price came up I confidently priced it by the inch plus shipping of course. to my surprise the person agreed right away. such a cool feeling. im normally so shy and reserved. I kind of surprised myself lol

[@NeetaMhatre]

Wow!! I didn't know Ginger Cook was Sr ArtSherpa! Ginger and Cinnamon, spicy Artists! Love them! 😍 Would love to see them collab over a piece and also do the Sherpa dance together!!!

[@TheArtSherpa]

We have been doing Live streaming collaboration lately

[@AdrienneJones-eu9ff]

You guys are a hoot, loved watching you two together and learned a lot. Love the puzzles, we do them when our work is done in my math class. Thanks for all the valuable info, you guys rock.

[@karensaladbar.]

Ok, when I was in 1st grade, I was spanked by my teacher for not wanting to color. My mom bought new Crayolas, gave me a strong talking to... And for the rest of my life everyone laughed if I even talked about painting a wall. I am 63 years old now, I'm just now starting to paint for my own pleasure. I would love the puzzle. love your program!

[@TheArtSherpa]

I am just so sorry that happened to you!! I am very very glad you found your way back into art

[@gumamelaflower7629]

Ginger Cook is an amazing artist!

[@patriciawright8136]

Love Ginger Cook.!!

[@mialyncreations9323]

You two really need to do another one of these show. Thanks

[@brandykidder]

At some point I am going to send you a long winded letter on how finding you has been the beginning of my path in life. cinnamon , ginger and all your other artists who make tutorials to how to on anything , have become better then any therapist. We all have a voice. Each voice is different, and some people sing, some are just so inspirational, some can quilt, or write or anything that they can put their mind too, and nothing is more beautiful seeing a person who is in love with their voice. BIG THANK YOU AND SHOUT OUT TO JOHN COONEY AND ANGELA ANDERSON. oh btw. This is Brandy Bunn and this is my older account that Little Brush MADDY uses as we both watch tutorials and searching art. You all are changing lives . Hugs.

[@dorothyradley9391]

Great live chat and wonderful to see mum and daughter together. Love you guys xxxx

[@gingercooklive]

thanks Dorothy, We had a lot of fun.

[@megacameragirls]

I was at a flea market on Sunday and found two boxes (probably had bottles of wine in them). The little Shops pictures on them looked so much like Ginger Cooks'. I didn't look close enough to find a signature or something that would let me know about the artist till after watching your show this morning. UHG!. Would have been fun to have them. They were $2.00 a piece.

[@cavedude1331]

You ladies are so helpful! I've been searching for this information in a way that was broken down and explained for quite some time. I definitely found what I was looking for and even more!! Thank you for including all of the resources for other sites and videos, such game changer!

[@sabbapixie]

I'm watching this is 2022 and learning. cool to see how much ya'll have grown

[@TheArtSherpa]

❤❤❤

[@rossiej100]

I loved watching this. If I win the puzzle please donate it an aged care home or a school library for them to use.

[@SuzieLady]

This was so much fun!! I won't be selling paintings but I can hear a lot of great advice!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Art life is a funny life

[@NanaPoweredBy6]

Thank you so much for this great info. I don't have a story to tell about becoming an artist because I'm still learning but I still love Ginger's puzzle!!!

[@vaneta6937]

Great live show. My friends and family 100 percent behind my artwork, so no crazy stories other than the ones where they all want your art pieces but no one ever offers money :)

[@cariboulou2]

[@ang.giselle2024]

I know this is an old video, but I appreciate you going over this I am just starting and it is... hard I want it so bad. I was thinking of going on KZbin too. I am an unknown artist started in January doing my art again.

[@LaurelDale]

Just found this video! Thank you for doing it! I have recently started selling my art and needed to know this info!

[@TheArtSherpa]

Glad it was helpful!🤍

[@MarsNapada555]

Puzzle!!!! My mom and I love doing puzzles together!!!!

[@tinasmith9740]

It was so fun to watch the two of you together. I would love to see this on a regular basis. PS - I don't recall what you said about winning the puzzle except post a comment. I post comments regardless, just to say thank you for another great post. LOVE ART

[@jennhall522]

@Ginger, you said you had licensed your art for plates and so on. Did these companies come to you? Or did you let them know your work was available for licensing?

[@ScreeminMeeme]

Great video and very instructive. I've learned so much from each of you.. Thank you so much for sharing your insight into the art business. Blessings to you both...and your videographer as well!

[@wvclaylady]

Thanks for this! Good stuff to know for the future! I don't need it now, but I think it is good to have that all taking root in your brain early on. It was great to see your Mom too! Oh, I was looking for a list of the products and colors you use, and found the printable list. Thanks for that! Love and Light!

[@emtnest]

And thank you for being so free with your expertise!!

[@TheLitGirl]

This was so awesome! Looking forward to more Sunday fun in the Spice Rack!!

On your goldfish painting I asked if you were related to Ginger Cook, so I guess you don't have to answer. Thanks. You both are great.

Hi Cinnamon and Ginger! Loved the Q &A. I have two questions which if you have time I would love to know. When do you know if your good enough. I have done 2o to 30 tutorials and a couple of my own. Obviously I couldn't sell to any art company people with your original work. But I'm finding it hard to step out on my own creativity. I do a lot of photography and wondered if I sent you a dozen or so photos of mine, could you show how I would make my photo into my own artwork. I would be delighted if you could do it with all your Sherpa followers as proper video. It would so help me and I guess a lot of others. This is a big learning curve and I would love to paint more of my photographs or get inspiration from them A funny comment I had when showing someone my latest art piece was " are you not doing photography anymore" that was not inspirational. Lol. Lots of love Jacqueline UK.
