Featured Artist ~ Darlene Pringle



Her Shop ~ A Dancing Mango Her Blog ~ A Dancing Mango

"I am a self taught artist who loves to create. I have used oils, watercolor, acrylics, porcleain clay, paperclay, papermache, and glass medium. I am currently creating mixed media art and papermache which I feel allows me to unleash. I've had a deep background in porcelain dollmaking, and I made one polymer clay doll. I enjoy making 'fun-art' for people to enjoy. I enjoy music, gardening and travel.
Thank you for visiting me!"

  12. HALO DARLENE,
    Your artistic talent really impresses me . I love your work and admire you greatly.YOU have such a loving/caring heart and I think it comes out in your art work. Sometimes no one else can understand "our" vision but don't let other people get you down. I think if some of the really famous artists of the past felt that way we wouldn't have such great art pieces in museum's today. Listen to your own muse whispering in your ear and create what YOU like.
    I like your ladies , they always make me feel happy . I'm so proud of you to be chosen and included in this group of featured artists. I know you strive hard to please everyone and work hard creating your art in whatever medium you choose . No one here deserves this more than YOU. The last image should have the title of LADY MADONNA - she is so angelic. Keep creating your paintings and thank you for bringing such beauty into the world.

  13. well Darlene, you know how I feel about your art work! It is so lovely and peaceful and colorful and expressive. It is so hard to pick a favorite but I believe it is the middle one. I just love the tilt of her head and the colors. It is so beautiful there really are no words for it. It simply is. What really speaks to me is the heart that is present in each one; a huge amount of heart and that is so beautifully you

  14. Today my Heart is quieted by your momentous
    beautiful comments. IN a time when WORLD is HURTING, I am very greatful to find all of you so "appreciative" of my work.
    Sometimes, as Artist's we feel, "OUR" art does not fit in.. but then I ask, "fit in to "what and where?".. ART IS ART. It is called "Freedom of Soul" and how greatful I am for that because ART heals the human soul.
    Hugs to all, and Thank you once again!
