I remember loving to draw in grade school. In high school art wasn't available until my senior year. I don't know if art is available in schools these days, I'm now 69 years and trying to make up for lost time. If possible I'd like to create an opportunity for a young student that wasn't available to me when I most needed it.
I always buy some vases and things at the flea market to use them as a model for a still life, but I have redrawn them all several times, and finding and setting up a still life is such a long and tedious task. It is not difficult and quick to paint, but to set it up, compose it and make it beautiful is the hardest part
