Hi! I'm a new member of nobullart, as of 7-28-13. I am fairly young but have been painting in oils since I was about 8 or 9 years old, uncle an artist, gave me materials and instruction. I have travelled a lot but currently live in Soutern California. I grew up in a national forest in California, also close was a national desert. So I have always painted a lot of forest and desert scenes, expressionistically rendered. I heighten color, I like it that way. I have 144 oil paintings on my website, "starrssiteartofimagination.com" where I offer my paintings for sale as giclees (free shipping etc.). Thus to make it much less expensive to purchase my art, much easier to ship. After I've figured out how to upload some paintings of mine, I will blog some on the other artists I have seen on this site, some good stuff. But first to figure out how to make an upload stick. Starr
