Oh look, a happy little accident.

Painted at easels in 5th grade. Before that it was at our desks or on s flat work table.
Didn't get to paint in school again unless you took art classes in HS.

When was 6 really liked a guy named Bruce Mcintyre that was on PBS teaching drawing. Even got his book.
Taught stuff like perspective and shading. Took my drawing from flat to 3D. There are videos of the old series.

A little after that my Mom's cousin looked at my drawings and paintings. He was the senior art professor at Oklahoma University.
Told me what made my artwork good AND to never take lessons. Instead to just get materials and work with them.
Said if you take lessons you end up doing artwork like your teacher and lose your individuality.

Quit painting when I could not figure out how to paint sky so it didn't look cloudy.
