Charlotte, I am a beginner painter only painted 2 pictures. I found your site and very thrilled as starting my first panting on my own tomorrow night and needed some easy but inspirational paintings. I am more of an abstract person so your selection spoke to me. I saved many of your pictures on to my Pinterest art page. Thank you so much for having this site for beginners like me to find inspiration. Thanks Rebecca McKenzie
