How long have you been drawing or painting?
2 to 3 years, I'm returning to art after a long lay off
Tell us a bit about yourself:
After telling my 80yo "arty" Nanna: "I would just like to be able to draw a stick-figure or two...." (in 2002) she replied with: "It's genetic, you know!". And that's where I began, with the humble coloured pencils from my sons' pencil cases... To tell the truth, I have really only ever done about a dozen piecesin verious dry mediums, and I seem to be petrified of paint (especially if it's wet)! But there will be more to come, as I am in true need of a stress reliever. I've just resigned from my highly stressful job to be a fulltime carer. You see, I have been raising 3 teenage sons, one with severe Autism, alone, for the last 13 years.... herein lies more stress! (No? Really? Whatever gives you that idea?) So if I am going to have an escape from the stress I figure that Art would have to be one of the better choices I could make.

"I just finished my Yorkie. She sure is a cute little critter. I didn't have the right colors (or wasn't successful in blending them), but I do like her anyway. It's done in Derwent Colorsoft pencil on 9 x 12" drawing pad paper. "
