I started painting a little over three years ago at the urging of two special and gifted, painter friends, Donna Schneider and Jeanie Morris. Jeanie convinced me that this would be a great hobby and made me believe that I could do this. Donna took me under her artistic wing and nurtured me through many hours of instruction. Together, but in separate parts of the country, they have been my artist mentors. This blog is dedicated to all who search for the artist within. Give art a try. You can do it.
