Welcome to my corner of the world here&nbsp;within&nbsp;the American Artists Community. It is an honor to be here among so many&nbsp;great artists&nbsp;throughout the United States and from around the world. We must all commend Stephen Doherty and&nbsp;the rest of the staff from The American Artist Magazine for developing&nbsp;this site.&nbsp; For many artists, creating art is a process that requires&nbsp;many long hours of working&nbsp; &nbsp;alone in&nbsp;the studio.&nbsp;&nbsp;Being able to share thoughts and ideas with other&nbsp;artists&nbsp;is vital to&nbsp;developing creativity. This &quot;Community&quot; is the perfect forum&nbsp;that gives us all the opportunity to inspire each other, to share our work with each other, and perhaps most important of all - communicate. </p> <p>I hope you enjoy my work and I appreciate that you stopped by. Please leave your comments,&nbsp;visit my Forum on Watercolor Painting and check my&nbsp;video about my 5 value approach to painting&nbsp;and by all means&nbsp;-&nbsp;come back soon!</p> <p>Thank you very much.</p> <p>Tom Valenti</p> <p><a href="http://www.thomasvalenti.com">www.thomasvalenti.com</a> &nbsp;</p>
