As a child I was never without my “drawing pad”. Probably started painting once I was a teen. I’m Medicare age now, so it’s been a long time. Put all of it aside when I raised my family, and just within the past few years I’ve started up again. I still had brushes and canvas and sketch materials from my college years so I dug it out finally. I’m still trying to shake off the rust! TY slumcamper!
