Dear wonderful PPFers,
We have received many messages from lots of you not knowing "if your paintings are good enough" or thinking that since you don't "sell your art", you shouldn't submit an interview to be a PPF Featured Artist...
Please know, and we feel this is worth repeating it is so important:
*ALL PAINT PARTY FRIDAY PAINTERS ARE WELCOME!!!*
If you paint, we want to hear your story.
It doesn't matter if you use oils or fingerpaints; if you paint on canvas or cardboard; if you paint in a studio, at the kitchen table or on the floor; if you've been published or you only post paintings to your blog...
We all have something to share! It has been fascinating to hear Stephanie S's, Kathy's, Mary's, Marcia's, Patsy's, KAT's, Lisa's, Stephanie C's, Kristin V's, Sigga's, Kat's, Elisa's and Jenny's stories and to learn more about each Featured Artist. Such inspiration! Similarities, differences, uniqueness and wonderful paintings. Thank each of you so much.
Now, we want to hear YOUR story!
What are you waiting for?
Submit your interview ;)
xoxo
EVA and Kristin
Now that we have that bit of business out of the way, let's get this party started!
Please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page URL address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 Check-Ins.
Have a great creative week! Lots of parties going on this week... Happy Canada Day and Happy Independence Day to all of those celebrating. Hope you see magnificent fireworks!
Well said!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely all learn from each other.
Thanks so much again for hosting, Kristin and Eva!
I agree we all have so much to learn from one another. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI was going to wait until tomorrow to link up, bit since my novel kept me up this late I may as well...kinda ridiculous, seeing that I've read it three times before.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'll be putting an interview together for you soon - I had been intending to, but my pregnancy has slowed down my blogging.
Am tired. G'night.

DeleteAmen!!I have learned something from each and everyone of you!
ReplyDeleteAmen!!! I have learned from everyone one of PPF artists!
ReplyDeleteI love how in 'Believe in you'it came out BE YOU...As Oprah used to say.. Everyone has a story. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteYES! Everyone has a story worthy of being told. I look forward to hearing more of them. Telling my story here got me back to painting again. Who knows what it will do for you??
ReplyDeleteStill on double shift at work.... sorry for not commenting too much, but I get home late in the night.
ReplyDeleteI'll take my courage and submit my art to your website. :)))
Yes, thanks for the encouragement! So many wonderful artists here.
ReplyDeleteMy art left the canvas again today. Happy PPF everyone!
Thank you for such a lovely affirmation to each of us - we can all learn from each other and I certainly have learnt about so many different techniques from the folk I've met at this wonderful party!
ReplyDeleteYes! Wonderful message! We all feel inadequate sometimes but their is so much to share and learn from each other.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear your stories♥
Yes, come on - submit! I love to read them all every week. There's so much talent out there, everyone has their unique style and take on life and we want to know more about you!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day you all, have fun! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful party where we all are on the same adventure even if we take different roads. Am loving taking part. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteI will think about it! I really like the graphic you made for today.
ReplyDeleteRinda
I love reading these! Thanks so much for posting them and looking forward to reading more! I also like the graphic you created.
ReplyDeleteEvery eye sees something differently....I love the variety in art..it's as varied as the people God created. Yes believe in yourself.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely message. I was brave today and linked up for the first time. I've been following Tracey Fletcher King for awhile now and she inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI applied! ( I hope it was not "lost in the mail" )
ReplyDeleteThis is a very positive place, i really like it here.

Hi Mimi,
DeleteWe searched through our emails, but couldn't find your interview - it looks like it is "lost in the mail" :(
Would you would please resend it? We would love to be able to share it!
Thank you so much!

Kristin
thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHi Eva and Kristin and everyone. I miss PPF, but I'll be back next week. What a wonderful message for everyone really. I know that being a member of PPF since it began has really opened doors for me in many ways. I say, Hip Hip Hooray!! Three times. tee hee. Be back next week. Now it's time to go finish up my duties. I have a lot of catching up to do next week.
ReplyDeletePart of Colors of Summer2 - a strawberry lemonade doodle fish - love to doodle!
ReplyDeleteHi! I have been out of action for a little while. Great to be back and finally check out PPF again! Been a lurker for a while. Great message and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI love the sign. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. That is why this is a great site, so much variety!
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful to read and look at each others work and learn from each other. We are all so different coming from different culture, in different age and we have been practicing some for many years and some for few. So please tell your story, we all enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI promise to tell my story next time. But I am enjoying looking at everyone's work. What a talented community!
ReplyDeletePutting one's self out there for public scrutinizing is a difficult step, but once you do it you gain a confidence you never knew you had.You won't always hear what you want and you won't always make a sale but you will sell and you will hear good things and those are the things to dwell on, not the negative.I have been on the steps , scared to take the plunge, once I did I was so happy I did.My eyes might be failing me but my enthusiasm and desire to paint and share with others will never fade! thankyou for hosting again
ReplyDeletewhat a great message. and i love that you have created this wonderful, friendly forum for people to meet, share and get to know each other! thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello Eva and Kristin, yes maybe one of these days I'll submit, but for now it's already great to participate in this paint party, thanks so very much and enjoy your week-end!
ReplyDeleteEva and Kristin you are so warm and welcoming!! That is what makes this party so great! Happy PPF!! xo
ReplyDeletethanks for the great reminder! I actually emailed y'all a while ago re. possible interview but have heard nothing yet - good to know it probably isn't because I'm a terrible artist :D
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia,
DeleteWe searched our emails for your message, but couldn't find it - I am starting to worry that emails are getting lost.
Please know that you are definitely NOT a "terrible artist", and we would LOVE to have you submit your interview!

Kristin
Thank you for speaking to the artists like myself. I love the picture you have posted too.
ReplyDeletethank you for the message and for hosting this party!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this - I love seeing everyone's work. I'm sorry I posted twice to Mr. Linky but the first one had a link to last week's painting so I apologize for any confusion.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, gives me a push :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, because it motivates me to paint. It's also a marvelous place to see what other artists are doing worldwide. I'd like to submit an interview, but haven't gotten around to it with everything else I have going on. I'll try and do it next week. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! I've been missing being a part of PPF! I would love to be a featured artist! Thanks!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for your blog and all the motivation. I love seeing everyone's work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the challenge and this blog.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Arriving late to the party, but better late than never!
