- Tell us a bit about yourself:
- Well,I have three children (two teens and a younger child) - I am a believer who loves Jesus with all my heart - I thank Him for all He has done in my life, Im a very blessed woman.
Almost 6 years ago now (where has the time gone, the years have gone by so so quickly), my husband passed into heaven from a long battle with cancer - it taught me so much about Jesus - He held me close, through it all. I have a much deeper appreciation now, of just how beautiful people are, and life can be.
Im self employed (umm I wash windows lol - just call me the wonderwindowwasherwoman).
As to art - never had formal training in art but was enrolled in art school for one day - and lasted one hour, at age 16 - so much for that! I was promptly thrown out by the art principal who told me I had no artistic talent, to pack up my things and 'go home'...... so, I did (with my tail between my legs lol) After that, I was tooooo scared to enroll in any lessons - one eviction was enough for me So, every now and then I practised, quietly at home, in cafes sometimes, studying peoples features and faces. I love portraiture, which Ive done in watercolours, a little bit in oils and pencil and charcoal sketching. Ive not really ever been able to indulge myself much in my passion, but as my children are growing older, I wanted to start making inroads into developing my art more. Looking around this site Ive been so very encouraged to keep on practising and painting.
......... and my latest insight ? - the more I am learning here on this site..... the more I realize I need to practise continuously and push myself out of the comfort zones. Im starting to appreciate more, all the different forms and varieties of art - its been such an exciting learning curve for me.
I am so indebted and grateful to my friends here whom have been so encouraging and good to me, helping me along the way.. Thankyou to all. :)
God bless each and every one who stumbles across this page, and I pray that Jesus brings to your life, as He has, to mine.
And here is some blonde logic :) ........ once you know something, you cant, not know it.
