I can’t draw stick people. My least favorite game is Pictionary. I’m an utter failure at it. My daughter in law is a talented artist. My husband and both sons can draw, and of course all my grands are wonderfully gifted. But I’ve never had any hope of ever being able to draw. So when a friend invited me to take painting classes with her I said “Sure, why not?,” thinking this would prove for all time that I have no artistic talent.

I started taking lessons from David Gillihan on this past August. I’m now a member of the Artists on Main Painting Society. Here are my first two paintings:

Ok, I’ve had help from David. But I’m not hopeless, anymore. David is sure he can teach me and I’m excited to learn. More to follow.
