Active Rain is full of "hidden" talent and I mean true artistic talent ! Sure, AR has lots 
of talented people but I have been so impressed with the artists that I have found here.
After seeing Lizette Fitzpatrick's fantastic artwork and reading Blog & Abstract Artist-Marti Garaughty's comments, I wanted to share some of the AR talent that I have found. (Marti commented " we should organize an AR art exhibit, so much talent floating around here.") GREAT IDEA!!
Lizette has a "Faces Collection" but has more art on the way, very colorful !
Marti Garaughty does gorgeous abstract paintings, love the colors in "The Day It Rained"!
WA Home Inspector-Charles Buell has a secret Art habit, check it out !
Elaine Manes ~Fellow Stager painted some great artwork that inspired me to get my brushes out again.
Cheryl Willis-MO Real Estate Broker is a very talented quilter, she even started an AR Quilt Group.
Carolyn Tann-Starr is an accomplished artist, check our her portrait of James Bond.
Richard Weisser-GA Broker is an expert photographer and has been one of my favorites long before I "knew" him here on AR but he also likes to paint-check out his art!
Susie Blackmon-NC Broker is another talented AR shutterbug, she offers a "Photo of the Day"

Wow! Thanks for including little o me on your post. I'm honored to be mentioned along with all the other great artists here on AR.
hi Cheryl, thx for the mention and for picking up on this comment idea, there really is a ton of talent in the Rain, glad to see you pointing out some I wasn't even aware of, nite!
Cheryl, I didn't even know some of these people did artwork....and they're fabulous! Wow, we've got talent on AR for sure!
Hi Cheryl - Thanks for sharing these artists....I really enjoyed seeing their work.
Thanks I almost missed that great blog by Elaine Manes! Gracias!
Cheryl, thanks for including me on the list:) I will be checking out some of the others.
Hi sis! GREAT IDEA! I think it is a great idea to share all aspects of ourselves with one another. There are several of my AR friends who have been encouraging me to share some of my portraits. I'll just have to do that! GBU!!!
Hi Cheryl W. Thanks so much for sharing your cool rug!! God bless!
Oh my word... nothing like a Google Alert to get your attention (LOL). How could I not re-blog this? Too funny and very cool. Love the artwork! We should make an art contest.. Then again, I'm still waiting for the okay to have the photography and video contests. :-) Cheryl G, it never occurred to me to make an art contest. I am soooo posting this in Club Chaos as a re-blog. Haaaaa! I love this post. Seriously! YOU ROCK!
there is a group for quilters & crafters in the rain, may have to change it to Arts & Crafts (just kidding) be good cw
Cheryl...
Thank you kindly for the mention ... there is indeed a lot of talent here at AR!
Hi Cheryl G: I'm definitely NOT an artist, but I enjoyed looking at the other posts that you shared with us!
Hi C, Thanks so very much, I am so honored to be reblogged by you! Thanks for the inspiration. God bless,
Hi Richard, You are so very welcome!! God bless,
Hi Cheryl P, Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out the great art! God bless,
Hi Cheryl,
What a great idea! Unless connect the dots count, I have nothing to contribute! I envy people with artistic talent. I love Marti's abstract art and Susie's photography. Thanks for introducing the others.
Thank you for pointing out the talent we have in Active Rain. Here is a photo of my youngest that I had some fun with.
Hey Cynthia, I am SURE that connect the dots can certainly be an artform. IF Sharpie art is, then dots can be!! Thanks and God bless,
Hi Kathleen, Your daughter is gorgeous, guess you have to beat the boys away. I love the creative photoshopping you did. God bless,
