"On Christmas Day of 1985, my children gave me
a box of acrylic paints, saying - 'You watch the art shows on TV all
the time, now start painting!' It took four months before I had the
courage to open a tube of paint and begin using them. As a student
I had loved sketching with paper and pencil, but was afraid of color...At
the age of sixty-six, I began painting. I have sold eighty-two pictures
and given away more than that amount...Today, I am taking lessons
in making three dimensional artifacts with hardening clay. It is great
fun. I am now seventy-seven and thankful that I have had this opportunity
to work in the art field." |
