Finding the right subject is not easy.  Mostly I paint from pictures that I have taken.

 

 Progressing very slowly, probably because I don't paint every day like I should.  But, I stay at it.

Watercolor interests me.  Looks difficult.  But, I will definitely make a stab at it.

All my school notes have included margin art.  It was something that couldn't be helped.  The pencil just went there.  Not sure why; not sure I care why.  After ceasing full time gainful employment due to just needing to call it quits, the urge continued.

Including small drawings in letter, notes, shopping lists, recipes, and just about any blank piece of paper  continued into retirement.  It became obvious that the decision would be leave it or do it better.  I chose to see what would happen if I took some professional lessons.

This public place is a way to put the efforts in some sort of order.

My efforts are for me.  They are not for trying to make a name or make a dollar.  My efforts are not for scientific documentation or to learn to copy what others have done. (But, coping is a great way to check on progress, maybe)
