TinaD's Profile

If I had a small dog I would wash in the sink:). I agree with point about raw chicken:)

I'm Gen-X. I grew up gardening with my Mom. When I was putting myself through art school in my 20's I lived at home and to contribute to the house I took over the gardening since my Mom has bad RA and couldn't do it anymore. I know live in a tiny house, by the highway, with a huge yard...my landlords said I could do whatever I want and I have slowly been transforming the yard into a haven of flowers, veggies and shrubs. It gives me joy when I come home from my office job, it presents a nice inviting picture to my clients who come to my house for their portraits, and it gives me satisfaction to dig in the dirt and see results.

I love portraits, but dont get something fussy and old fashioned, there are a lot of great contemporary artists out there. unless you live in Downton Abbey a John Singer Sargent type portrait doesn't work...IMHO.:)

Definitely agree that minimalism needs the richness of something like the floor to set it off.

I also love the subtle texture of the walls in the first image...gorgeous.
