Paint Party Friday: Week 39 Year 2 Check In

created in photofacefun.com

This holiday season, give your PPF friends the gift of your story!

Dear wonderful PPFers,

This is a message that is worth repeating...

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.  If this sounds familiar, please know...

*ALL PAINT PARTY FRIDAY PAINTERS ARE WELCOME!!!*

If you paint, we want to hear your story.


We all learn from each other...

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 a such a fun variety of  stories and to learn more about each Featured Artist. Such inspiration! Similarities, differences, uniqueness  and wonderful paintings. Thank you to everyone who has been featured so far!

Now, we want to hear YOUR story!

What are you waiting for? 
Submit your interview  ;)
xoxo
EVA and Kristin

Now, 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.

    I tried to get around to everyone, but I've had a bout of food poisoning. I will try this coming week to see each of you. I love the variety of works, the explanation of what you used and the stories. Blessings, Janet PPF

    I've hesitated 'telling my story'--maybe I need to take the plunge in the new year--

    I've really enjoyed the community you've created here!

    I agree, art is in the soul, and what one person doesn't like, another goes crazy for. So enjoy and you are all artists in my eyes. Happy PPF to you all

    Hello, everyone! Glad to be joining the party again today! It's been so long since I last partied here; feels good to be back!

    Thank you Eva and Kristin for hosting (and for coming up with the idea in the first place!). It has been such an encouraging place for me in my painting journey. Thank you, also, to all the other painters who have encouraged my efforts. It means so much!

    Cheers!

    Oh, that sounds just like me. I had a friend on Facebook that said she didn't know I was an artist the other day and right away I went to say, I'm not an artist! It's hard to call myself an artist when I'm still learning so much. Thank you for this post!

    Thanks for hosting, I am afraid I am one of those people who doubt the name of artist, I love reading the intereveiws, so perhaps I need to get my head out of its comfort zone and do an interveiw, yep, I will attempt one.

    I love reading the interviews too! I'm not sure what to say for some of the questions though, so for now, I'm just hoping for more artists to submit more interviews for me to read and enjoy :).

    So grateful to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday! I'm thinking I may need to step out of my comfort zone and share my work here as well! It's been great to be a part of this wonderful group of artist's.
