Bluejay Resting Drawing

My journey through the creative process has taken many detours lasting decades. As a very young child through college, landscape painting has been my passion. Taking lessons at the age of fourteen to majoring in Fine Arts in college I always thought this was my primary path. As for most, life decides differently and 40 years later, after 3 daughters, and 4 grandchildren I’m just now starting over. I didn’t see it at the time, but as my job wound down, I found myself wanting to find out if I had retained anything I had learned all those years ago. My wife surprised me at Christmas with the tools I needed to begin again so I did. My enjoyment was rediscovered, and I have a lot of ideas and new things to try. As with any artist, I paint what I see hoping that someone will come along that enjoys it as much as I enjoyed the process that put it to canvas.
