Hey John, good to "meet" you! I have to say, I think your natural media paintings are very well done, and a pleasure to view. I personally did the opposite: went from watercolors to acrylics to oils---then to digital. To each our own, eh? But your painting work is VERY good and quite inspiring; it is a pleasure to have you in this Vue d'Esprit community and I look forward to seeing your creations. :)
