Hello! I'm Mary Beatty, AWANNABE ARTIST, although my paintings have been exhibited professionally in state and national shows. Self-taught artists are forever  wannabes. We're continually working and learning,   expecting our next painting to be our "masterpiece."

You are cordially invited to visit these family friendly galleries - but come as you are!  No appointment necessary and the tour is free. Should you visit at the end  of a  long day, just  kick  off your shoes and be comfortable - nothing  picture perfect here.

All pages on this site were created using 800 x 600 resolution and work best with Internet Explorer 6.0 and later. All the pages do work at 1024 X 768 but some look a little strange at the smaller resolution. Also,  Java Scripting must be enabled in order to view some of the pages effectively.  Open Internet Explorer/Tools/Options/Advanced Tab. Scroll down to Java (Sun) and check the box.  Now, how easy is that!

Before you wander through the galleries, however, you are invited to go here, THIS I BELIEVE -- My Statement of Faith (and Love Song to the Lord that may surprise you!). Then, let's be a kid again for a few minutes and plop on our Let's Pretend Hat! We'll tour the WANNABE ART STUDIO where Teapots Talk and Teacups bear Fruits of the Spirit.  Here's where you will view many original paintings by this Wannabe Artist.  Hopefully,  your own creativity will be nudged! 

If you have ever said, “I would give anything to be an artist!” or “Oh, I can’t draw a straight line!” I invite you to the 
I WANNABE AN ARTIST!  GALLERY. You will not believe your eyes when I share six little words that I (almost...) guarantee will turn you into  one! You will find many tips   I have spent half a lifetime learning: Tips for Portrait Painting, Lighting, Posing, How to get a Likeness, Setting Up a Still Life, Framing (new page completed), and Developing Your Own Style. A pastel portrait demonstration is being created (new page completed) and by faith, other demonstrations will follow.
INFORMATION will map the route that led this artist to that Pot of Gold -- and more -- at Rainbow's end -- on to where we are today, and where we're going Tomorrow!

A passion for five years was painting
THE LION AND THE LAMB SERIES. Each of the twelve paintings is accompanied by a selected Bible scripture.  Prints from all twelve paintings are available here. Also a little gift book, Little Prayers for Little Lambs.

You are then invited to tip toe softly through the INSPIRATIONS GALLERY of POETRY and PROSE ... and SCRIBBLINGS.

Finally, this reminder: "There is life beyond art!" If that most dreaded ALZHEIMER'S disease has ever trampled through your beautiful life's rose garden, please join me in the CAREGIVER and INTERRUPTIONS GALLERIES.  You may want to bring a tissue. 

My heart’s desire is to add something of value in this vast Cyberspace (I like to think of it as GODSPACE). These pages are my Thank You to God for the creative talents with which He has gifted me, and sharing them is my gift to you. It would be my joy to know somewhere out there in Godspace someone experienced His comfort, divine inspiration, and felt His warm smile of encouragement to "keep on keeping on!".

So whether you are a WANNABE or simply browsing the Internet in GODSPACE, thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy your visit. Email
