With no prior background or inclination in art I sort of stumbled into it at age 50 when I enrolled our son in a fledgling private art school and began taking art classes myself. I discovered that with good teaching methods combined with my willingness to do the work that it wasn’t too late to learn.
I took dozens of classes in pencil drawing, acrylics, watercolor, pastels, etc. and eventually gained the confidence and skill to begin teaching drawing, offering kids art camps, and private painting parties.
These explorations into the world of fine art have been nurturing, therapeutic, and fun.
