Welcome to My Blog

On my new blog, I will be sharing new paintings and offering some little tidbits of art info that I have acquired over the years . . . many of them. I believe that anyone can learn to draw and paint if they have a desire to do it and a willingness to learn and practice — no one learns to swim or ride a bike or play a musical instrument without determination and lots of practice  . . . so come on and jump right in . . . yes, you can learn to paint too.  Look what these people have accomplished with determination and practice!

      and paints his whole nature into his pictures."
