What Time Is It In New Zealand?
I do not know Sam I Am,
but my guest poster for today definitely knows.
Let me introduce you to Karen Johnston of New Zealand!
I met Karen during Leslie Saeta's 30 marketing ideas in 30 days.
In fact one of the challenges was to give away some type of art,
a print, note cards, calendars, or a painting.
I signed up for Karen's beautiful painting "Thistles"
and I won it!
and I won it!
I can't wait for it to get here.
But it's coming from New Zealand, so it could take a while.
Any whooo - Karen has been painting for a while and I love her work.
So let me introduce you to her and then you'll know an artist in New Zealand too.
Ya gotta love the internet,
Isn't she cute!
My name is Karen Johnston,
I am a painter living in New Zealand. I started painting over 20 years ago and
have had many teachers along the
way!
Oil is my favourite medium
then pastel and graphite. I am learning all the time and loving every minute of
it! The subjects I paint vary, I love flowers, landscapes, still life and
animals. My work is the product of inspiration, so whatever I’m painting the
emotional connection is essential. If I can pass on my feeling and people feel
inspired after viewing my work, I’m happy!
I joined Daily Paintworks in 2011 and paint a small
painting most days, I also joined Leslie Saeta’s 30 Day painting challenge
earlier this year. I have met so many wonderful inspiring artists I would never
have known otherwise.

Check out her blog, you can almost hear her accent in the writing.
And she shows you some interesting stuff about painting,
and she has paintings of animals we seldom see.
So many reasons to start following Karen.
Karen's work is just wonderful, I follow her on facebook and love seeing her new works. Lucky you to win one of her paintings. I have never visited her blog however and I am on my way. Thank you Sharon for directing me and for sharing another wonderful artist with the world.
