I’m stay at home mom to a beautiful little girl and I get to draw and paint when ever I like. I have a very supportive husband that I completely adore. So I consider myself a very lucky person. I have my dreams of being a great artist, although I refuse to cut off an ear to do it and if all remains the same? Well that’s okay with me too.
Be Well and Happy!

Hi Carole,
Just ‘discovered’ you today! I love your tangles, and will enjoy using them. I have joined your site (I thinK). Im an art teacher but ready for retiring, I seem to need more time for “fun”!! This week I posted my first tangles – “aussie” ones! I look forward to more of your designs and some time to explore your site.Happy tangling!
Carol..Thank you for the kind words about me..If you are ever in Pigeon Forge, Tn Great Smoky Mountains look me up, in the meantime send me your address and I will send you my book on painting called ” Painting the Illusion ” .It has great info on the mechanics of painting, pastels, and much more. My website is dickensingartist.com and my email is dickensing@bellsouth.net

how funny I’m reading this now…I just said to my Mom, I understand how Van Gogh might cut off an ear…I hope it never comes to that!;)
Anyway…I just discovered you…I love your art
Awesome! Cannot wait to get going on your pencil tutorials. Friendly and free legal advice – change your disclaimer from “expressed and written permission” to “express written permission” or ever “express written consent” ( most common). Would have emailed if I found an address.
