I was first and foremost a trained artist.....needlepoint came along and I decided I could use all my commercial and fine arts training to produce a finely stitch painted canvas.....my whole world seems to have holes in it, and I forget how nice it is to just paint without regard to the single stitch...blending paint and using your brush to get different textures.....if life was perfect, i would need no sleep and would have time for everything I love.......lol...bottom line a am an artist first before we branch off into different categories....FYI I do love dogs...if anyone has any doubts...
