I found art later in life. Or maybe art found me??? Regardless, what a wonderful way to spend my time in retirement.
I work in oils, watercolor, and pencil. I like all three equally, as each has a purpose for me.
Most of my oils are scenes of Hawaii or my former home area of Cape Cod. I like the richness and depth of oil paintings.
My watercolors are mostly flowers or familiar sites. I am trying to do more loose watercolor, but giving up control is not easy to do. I am also experimenting with using hemp paper for watercolor paintings.
Sketching with graphite pencil is something I try to do daily. I carry a sketching kit with me almost everywhere.
In trying to find a niche in art, I started painting what I call “Ghost Palms.” The rich background colors and the white trees seem very eye-catching.
For the past two years, I have been writing mini-tutorials to complement video art lessons for paintbasket.com and will begin writing their monthy newsletter this month. It has been a fantastic opportunity for me to learn art skills and techniques.
