Artwork by Shirley Mandeville

Light from Heaven

My maternal grandma who died when I was a fetus was an artist. So was my paternal aunt who found her gift at my age now. She and a college friend told me I had talent I should develop. My career as a Nurse Practitioner and a Wife/Mom kept me too busy but my soul craved Art. I see and feel God when light reaches out on a person or through the trees or clouds. I want to share that feeling through art but have limited skills. I had the privilege of painting this scene recently with guidance from a talented artist but she retired from teaching and I need help. I have only used pencil and oil media and done 3 study still lifes and this one landscape.

I believe the Drawing Academy is a way I can follow my own pace and learn the skills I need to open the joy art brings to me.

I want to learn basic drawing techniques and other media to produce a variety of subjects.

My vision is to share God’s light through art as I near retirement from doing His work through healthcare. Please help me reach my goal by voting for me to win a free Drawing Academy course to keep me motivated and teach me, without hurting my budget!
