Artwork and story by Gina Rigby

HARRISON

My name is Gina. My family consists of 4 adult children who have given me so far 5 1/2 grandchildren (one due in December).

I have always thought I was capable of some kind of drawing/sketching. My youngest daughter bought me some Art lessons which encouraged me to follow my dream of being able to draw my grandchildren as they grow. I had always wished I could do that with my own kids – that was not to be.

Through doing art lessons, I have learned that there are numerous ways of doing Art. So far I have tried Charcoal and Soft Pastels, but have found that my interest may lay with oils. Hence, this is my very first Oil Painting.

My grandson, Harrison, has just turned 2 years old.

I would love to continue to explore the mediums that are available online as attending lessons in person tend to be determined by the availability of teachers and numbers in classes. My knowledge is basically NIL.

I would love to learn what I need to continue progression to a point of becoming an artist that is comfortable with what she paints.

Thank you
