Hi there Oldenbroke, I just stumbled upon your brilliant blogs as I am a fan of Danielle. I love all her work but especially her pastel paintings as I'm a bit obsessed with pastels myself. I'd really love if you checked out my site at http://www.EmmaColbertArt.com. I've also started a blog this year at http://www.EmmaColbertArt.blogspot.co.uk. I'm very new to blogging but I've been documenting everything I paint in pastels for the past couple of years so I have lots of material! I love what you're doing here and on your own blog. I'm discovering whole new worlds of artists near and far!
