You are an inspiration to so many people and we are all best to share your talent. I am thinking about dusting off my pastels and oil pastels which have been sitting on the shelf for a long time. I am leaning toward oil pastels but and would love to find some tutorials on working with oil pastels? Do you have any available? Which do you prefer to work with, chalks or the oil pastels? I have a a couple of my oil paintings posted at the end of my blog. The subjects are typical of what I would want to create in oil pastels. Do you have any suggestions on a good quality paper to use? Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barb Hi Michelle,

I've read about the amount of time it takes to create one of these beauties, now I can see why...the detail is incredible!!!! Michelle, your paintings are even more beautiful than your stamped work.

She saw your web site and excitedly passed it on to me right away. I can see why. My first love was drawing and then acrylic painting. I love your pastels and must admit pastels were the first thing I purchased from Stampin Up. I regret I have not spent time with them but now I will. You have inspired me to try my old hand again. I love the stamping and sometimes the old creative me appears and I surprise myself but I usually need inspiration from someone else these days. You are very very talented. Thanks for sharing it.

I look at them and keep thinking they are photographs. The texture that you achieve in fabric, wood and stone is incredible. It looks tactile, as though, if I could touch it, I would feel the texture. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and talents so generously here and on Splitcoast.
