I just finished looking at the portalwisconsin website and thought that it was a great way to find ways/events to get involved in. I was expecting it to be relatively simple, like when I clicked on opportunities I thought it would list a bunch of different careers you could go into, but it didn't, they were actual job opportunities. It's nice to have access to something that tells you where art galleries are that are looking for artists' pieces instead of searching for them yourself. I also liked how the gallery consists of artists from the area. I loved some of their work and knowing that they live near me reassures me that I have the potential to paint really good pieces of art.

I absolutely love this painting because it reminds me of my land up north and the brush strokes aren't tight, but loose. The fact that she used so many colors on the ground makes me think of a reflection in water!

I posted the one of the light house, because it's so detailed and realistic. I tried/ am trying to paint a light house and....it's not working out too well. I also like that it's not a typical lighthouse. People usually don't think of something like when when talking about one.
