Ima thanks so much for commenting. I have gone to google translate for a translation and will insert it here even though I know it may not be perfect:
“I have great admiration for those who do not consider age, circumstances, knowledge and will to fight in search of new horizons. I need to do this !!
I love pastel and would like to get to the excellence of this art …”

Going back to art school certainly requires a certain kind of courage , the courage shown by Donna. I hope it inspires you to explore new directions Ima. I’m happy you are on this pastel journey with us 🙂

I’m so glad you enjoyed the blog Sandi. As you say there are so many ways for an artist to evolve and it was wonderful to be able to share Donna’s story about going to art school.

Seeing Donna’s early work and her growth and development as an artist was amazing. She’s really pushed herself in different directions. I love her early work but her new work with digital and abstract is fantastic. If she had not pushed through and tried new things we would have lost out on the wonderful work she is doing now. Thank you so much for sharing! I will refer to this often when I need inspiration.

I think artists are always evolving. I know that for me taking workshops, joining art societies ,clubs , paint groups, reading articles , watching videos reading blogs(this one is really great and I have learned a lot especially from your videos) and most importantly to paint often is key.
Returning to art college classes would be great too. Congrats to Donna for that and her work is just terrific. Hard work pays off doesn’t it?
I just love to paint in pastels,I paint every day possible. Sandi
