Leave no Line behind!

I am a senior citizen who has tried to teach himself art as time allowed in his computer career.

I had a heart attack December 2017 and had to have quadruple bypass surgery so will need a career change as I refuse to retire, perhaps now I can focus 110% on art instead of squeezing it into my life.

I travel as much as I can to study are including Bali, Venice, Rome, Florence, Belgium, England, Germany , Budapest, and Prague, mostly work related so I am always trying to squeeze in Art.

New Reflections On The Old River

By nature, I am a very creative and artistic senior woman who always loved art but never gave it a real chance, before this year. And I hope we all agree that it’s never too late to start anything.

In January, moved by a passion to express myself through colour and form, I chose to embark on a dream project to create a body of artwork in oil paintings, with zero artistic experience. I had a triple advantage: A brilliant 3-month programme on the inner workings of creativity (Creating the Impossible with Michael Neill); time at hand after unfortunately losing my job; and a latent talent I wasn’t even aware I had.

Prachi’s Fine Art Gallery

I am Prachi Mohanty, student of class 9 studying starting in Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir dharmavihar Bhubaneswar. My father always says that every person in the world as a inherent talent within himself given by the God from the childhood and everybody should try to explore his or her inherent skills to enjoy the life. So he insisted me to have a good practice in drawing and painting because I have also a good level of interest in drawing and painting besides this I have a good ambition to share my knowledge and skill with others who are in this field. Hence I have an ambition to be a good drawing Teacher to enable poor students to be a good at this field.

Waiting to Enhance My Art

I am a disabled veteran. I stopped working in 2004 and I started doing art again along with Volunteering at the VAMC and school because I did not want to sit around doing nothing everyday. I love doing art, but I realize that I need lessons to improve my work and I want to learn to paint.

Hiking in Yosemite!

I am a retired educator who began drawing about 15 years ago by taking courses with my daughter who had just finished college. It was a time for us to bond. When she married and moved away, I continued. I sometimes work in colored pencil, but mainly, if I am not drawing, I also work with pastels, which feels much like a drawing medium.

Watercolor by Ginny

Wonderful shadows

I am a self taught artist. I had no money and four babies. Not much spare time to draw or paint. But I started in oils. When the kids thought it was fun to do finger painting on my oil paintings while they were drying, I switched to watercolor.
