I thank you all so very much for your info on this.  I am not an artist at all and cannot even fathom the thought  of ever producing anything as creative as you guys all do here.  Your gallery is full of the most fantastic images and I love to come browse and see what is here.  I have been so inspired that I am seriously considering taking up digital art as a hobby bu thave no idea where to start.  What would you all recommend for a start?  Thanks again........
