Folks are often looking for ideas for painting lessons...... Here is
an artist who was posted on TAB list:
Amy Pleasant from Seattle
http://amypleasantseattle.com/home.html
Amy began by interpreting black and white photos from an inherited
family album. Now she finds old/vintage black and white photos in
thrift shops. She adds patterns and her own interpretation of colors.
The paintings are quite lively - and fresh.
