Good news! I've completed a brief "How to Draw" article on my blog and I wish to share it with those who may be either interested in my drawing process or those on the path of learning how to draw. Feel free to take a look here! http://danalysons.wordpress.com/how-to-draw/ I would love to see any practice drawings based on my article. Feel free to post on DA and send me a link! I appreciate any comments you have about it or if you have questions, please feel free to comment or note me. Happy Wednesday!

I love Etsy.com. It's an absolutely great place to buy unique handmade random stuff and art crafts as gifts for family and/or friends. Artisans abound here and I'm proud to say I have opened up my own little shop there! I invite all artists and art enthusiasts who haven't seen it yet to check it out and I encourage artists to open their own shops there! My own shop can be found here where I've posted a handful of my original artworks.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/DLysons I have so many plans for this little shop and I'm looking forward to watching it grow! Happy Halloween to everyone!

This evening I have started work on a free "How to Draw a Horse" tutorial. When it is completed, I hope it will help anyone new to drawing horses, or seasoned veterans looking to try something new. It has been a busy year for me artistically. My work was displayed at a themed gallery exhibition, I participated in my first art fair with my own booth, and 14 works of original artwork, I've had a very prolific art year, donated some artwork and art prints to a horse rescue (Amanda's Foundered Friends: Horse and Equine Rescue), I've completed two commissioned art pieces (which I will upload soon as soon as the art works are in the owners' hand),
