With Gail, my very first art teacher. OK. I'm obsessed with art. Due to an extreme case of adult ADHD most things only hold my interest for up to 5 years and then I'm off to my next adventure. My family feels very fortunate to have not been included in these extreme make-overs! Like hubbies and kids, art lingers, and my love for it continues to grow. I often wonder how this got started. Yes, as an adult my daughter studied watercolor as a hobby and became very good at it. Then I learned picture framing so I could frame her paintings, then we met lots of artists, and then one day I thought "why not"? The rest is history.
It was never something I considered pursuing as a child or adult; I was always sort of crafty but never artistic. Now I can't get enough of it! It consumes my day and my budget. I've gone from Chinese Brush Painting (a good beginning as drawing isn't required) to traditional watercolor, then acrylic and now pastels and even oils! Oh, did I mention graphite, colored pencil, watercolor pencil, ink pencil and collage? Yes, it's time to draw the line. Ok, I can do that and then I can start experimenting with all the different surfaces to apply all these mediums to! Oh yes, then there's the different subject matter to . . . . Enough!
If one must be obsessed, what better obsession than art?
