I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN DRAWING AS A CHILD.  MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME A JOHN GNAGY LEARN TO DRAW KIT WHEN I WAS  A CHILD......I USED TO DRAW ON ANY PIECE OF PAPER OR BOX THAT I COULD FIND.    I INVESTIGATED THIS INTEREST MORE FULLY IN 2003........AND REALIZED THAT I DO HAVE SOME TALENT.......AND I FIND PAINTING RATHER RELAXING AND I HAVE FUN WITH THE COLORS...............I AM DEFINITELY NOT AN A METICULOUS ARTIST............I TAKE A BLANK PAGE, AND A PHOTO OR A PICTURE OUT OF A MAGAZINE, AND I DRAW A BASIC RENDITION OF IT ON THE WATER COLOR PAPER, AND I START TO PAINT.............SOME PAINTINGS TAKE A DAY OR TWO, SOME LONGER.............SOME PAINTINGS CHANGE A LOT BEFORE I AM SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS.  THE PAINTINGS NEVER TURN OUT EXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTO OR PICTURE I START WITH BUT STILL MAINTAIN SOME RESEMBLANCE TO THEM. MY WATER COLORS ARE QUITE HEAVY ON THE COLORS.................AND I JUST TAKE MY BRUSH AND PAINT, AND PAINT............................SOMETIMES I USE MY FINGERTIPS OR A Q-TIP TO GET A PARTICULAR LOOK........I ALSO OFTEN USE A LITTLE ACRYLIC PAINT IN MY PAINTINGS FOR AN ADDED TOUCH OR TO GET A PARTICULAR COLOR.........IT IS A LOT OF FUN.................AND PAINTING HAS BECOME A GREATER PART OF MY LIFE..
