![]() ![]() ![]() One day I looked at a drawing I had just completed and wished it was in my notebook. I would draw in my notebook for the actual class drawings, but most of the time I just drew on scrap paper. When I first began I felt I didn’t know anything about drawing. I found an art teacher that would give me one-on-one classes. So this summer I began taking drawing lessons. I realized this time it was because I didn’t know how to draw. I loved it–so much that she gave me a set of pastels! But though I read books and checked out internet sites about pastel painting, I became frustrated. Then, last fall I went with a daughter-in-law to a couple of her pastel painting classes. And it was completed so quickly that it kind of frustrated me. I liked doing it but, as with the wet on wet oil painting, I seemed to enjoy the process as much as the finished project. But it just didn’t seem to capture my attention for very long. Then sometime later I got interested in acrylics. My daughter did also, even doing some on old saws and saw blades. For a time after that I did several paintings. In the early 90’s I took a Bob Ross wet on wet painting class. She is an inspiration to me.įor the last 20 years or so I have done sporatic drawings/paintings. ![]() She can paint, draw, decorate cakes, do crafts, as well as make things out of wood. She did self portraits as well as ones of others in her family. Recently, my brother gave me some of her drawings that he found in storage (we think they are from when she was in high school). Like my mother before me, I’ve always wanted to be able to draw and paint. But I’m going to attempt to use what I have and see if I can get some posted anyway. I’ve heard the iphone 4 takes better pics. I’ve taken pictures of them with my iphone 3, but unfortunately they aren’t the greatest. I’ve been wanting to get some of my drawings posted. I think I have a love/hate relationship with technology! I’ve got my laptop hooked up directly to the satalite modem now to see if the problem could be my router. My interent has been very sporatic for a while. Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted. ![]()
