Art is my life now
I am a retired baker, who finally got to spend extended time doing what has been a life long on/off affair - doing art.
Over the course of years, I have turned from acrylics to colored pencil to pen and ink, each being a medium from which to express what I call themescaping - taking abstract ideas and visualizing them in a realist manner, whether still life or landscape.
I'm essentially self-taught from loads of books, my only failure has been not to grasp figures well, even after going thru several books, so most my works have none, and many others in mind would benefit from having them...
