Nicely done, as usual, LC. I have a question. Have you dabbled in art all your life? I'm just curious if you've been a drawer since you were little.

Yes, I have liked drawing all my life, I used to get in some serious trouble for it becuase of what I would draw and what I would write about. I stopped drawing and playing guitar for a long time because of the trouble I used to get in with them and I guess it left its mark, but I am OK with it now and realize I was not a bad kid for it all. Drawing is relaxing to me and I do get lost in it and forget everything else while I do it.

I kind of figured you've been interested since a kid. It shows in your work. Speaking of musical instruments. My Dad could play anything and well, piano, guitar, accordian, harmonica and wow, he could play the violin. I always regret I didn't take up an instrument and learn. My Mom still has his violins. One I guess is worth a lot of $$$$$'s. It's not a Strat but something really close. Maybe I should take lessons?? But I better use the one that isn't worth much.  I dunno, I'm probably too old to really get very good at it...plus, I really don't have the drive anymore. |

You never know, some of it might be genetic? I can play a couple instruments, but I don't have an interest in too many I cannot carry with me like piano and drums. My grandfather was an artist and one of my sisters older than me, that died when she was 28, non of us had formal training.

That is very good Lc! I've felt exactly like that more than I like to admit.

yeah I am thinking that this art thing of mine is more therapy than I care to admit at times! I drew a picture the other night that someone looked at and guessed almost exactly how I felt from just looking at it. It is too "different" to post for the general audience here, but that amazed me that someone could see what I felt from that drawing! WOW, that was kind of a first for me.
Sometimes I kind of think maybe I should have gone into art therapy helping others learn to express themselves with it, that would have been cool. I just never wanted to teach art, because all art that people create is good to me.
