When I found out that I had a blog on the front of my site, I was ecstatic. I am a member to vox and have 2 accounts, but somehow throughout my day, I never make it there to update. This is so much easier for me.

As I sit here and look out the front window of the office area I find it easy to sit and think over the past 18 months. From the day I opened DW to now and I can see how far I have come. I also now realize that I was in no way ready for opening that day in Dec. 2007. I still had so much to learn…and I can honestly say I have done that. And continue to learn every day. I can see where my foundations are now much better then they were and the site…phew!!! Has that changed or what. I have grown in my ability to make shadows and add a depth to them that I still amaze myself with.

And for all that I have you, my customers to thank. You have never given up on me and even though many would get as frustrated as I would, you all supported me and helped me gain as an artist of pigments and as a retail merchant.

Thanks one and all for this…And please come and enjoy the new DW that is still going and will continue (I hope) long into the future.
