I consider myself very luck that in middle age I have been able to develop a new exciting outlet for that tiny spirt of artistry I had often felt. Thanks to App School and talented dedicated teachers I am just beginning to know the joys and satisfaction of light and color. I no longer see a tree with some leaves. I see the beauty of line and form. This heightened observation or nature is one of the delights that has come to me thru trying to paint. Since Childhood I have looked at and admired masterpieces of art. I still look and admire but now I see what makes them great- all the elements of good design are there. I know I shall never be a really good painter but I do know that for me Painting is more than a past-time it is a fulfillment.
