It started in 2019

 I have for a long time wanted to draw and paint but my fear kept telling me that I had no talent. I soon learned that art is not all about talent, So I tried to draw, at first It was horrible, so I went on YouTube to get an idea of what supplies I needed.  I started off at first getting beautiful paint by number kits which were satisfying but I felt I was a little confined and that I could do better if I was free. I began to practice and low and behold I began to get better.

I had to decide what type of Art I wanted to create, I learned that it was so many Art mediums, so I began to explore them all.  I first tried Watercolor, then acrylic painting, pastel painting first hard waxy stick pastel pigments, then soft pastel sticks, pan pastel painting was the best and I found what made me very happy.  It was something that made me very happy.  I was so glad that the love of my life Thomas Benjamin, encouraged me and was so supportive of my new venture. I am sure it was because of him I even was convinced I could do it. I wanted to learn this new thing so bad that I went to my Senior Center and signed up for a Watercolor Class.

I was still practicing on my own and I found my love of birds I love all types of birds, large birds or small birds.  So, I began to purchase books and visit my local library to find all the information I could about birds.

I also found that I enjoyed painting birds with Watercolor, the colors all ways seemed so light and airy just right for birds I thought. I found some birds with very vibrant colors and that made me more excited and happier.

I tried drawing and painting flowers but as you can see, I was not verry good at it. I went to gardens to study the construction of flowers and after watching you tube; I was able to get better at drawing and painting flowers.
