Abstract 29. Painting

My first encounter with "Art" was at the age of 3. Next door we were playing schools, and someone(it must have been an adult) had drawn a picture, on a child's blackboard, of a ship on the sea. I was so taken by the skill of the drawing, that afterwards, I copied, and copied it to get it right. At one time the famous Artist Jacob Kramer happened to see me drawing this image on the pavement, and asked my grandma how old I was. She told him three and a half. He replied how skillful I was at drawing for such a young age. I will never forget that. I live in LEEDS in the UK, by myself. I am now a widower, but I have Suki my cat to keep me company. I am retired and paint and draw in my spare time.. my ambition is to be acknowledged as a serious artist.
