Hi Diane, thanks. I'm sorry for the delay. I need to figure out whether these replies can go to my email. I forget to check in here regularly.
Anyway, I've always been an artist. Always drawing when I was younger. Then I became and engineer and I didn't do much creative work at all over over 20 years. Now I'm taking a break and trying to paint every day. I started painting in watercolor and acrylic about 4 years ago.
