If you are like me, you love art. And when you look at a piece of watercolor art you think to yourself, “I wish I could paint like that.”
How long have you put off making art?

I’ve enjoyed art since childhood. We had the Norman Rockwell art book that every family has. I would look at it for hours. Enjoying how an artist, with a brush, canvas, and paint created moments – real pieces of life – in his pictures.
I loved art class throughout grade school and high school. Culminating in my senior art project of a 12 foot T-Rex made from chicken wire and papier-mâché. The day before the project was due a funny prankster removed the tail and attached it to the front of the T-Rex.
Whoever heard of a 12 foot tall T-Rex dinosaur with his tail in the front?
Our principal did not have a sense of humor and I remember how pissed off the janitor looked when he was tearing our ‘art’ down and putting into the dumpster.
Luckily, I still got an “A” for the class. However, the saboteur was never caught.
Year,s passed, and life happened, and I never did art.
ENOUGH! I said to myself – and this is where you can join me!
What am I doing. When am I going to do art?
