Three years ago, I signed up for my very first art class. It’s been quite the journey since then. I feel like I’ve made great strides, but still have so far to go. This portrait was finished yesterday. “Santa’s Daughter,” 16×12, oil on linen. Happy 2016, y’all.
And So She Paints 
I am in awe. Only three years. You really have developed your talent. Bravo.

You’re way too kind, friend. But I HAVE worked like a fiend. As I said, when my instructor complimented me on being very motivated and serious about painting, I suddenly understood why I’ve felt irritated lately by people who say I have a natural gift. Perhaps I do. But so do many others. The difference is in working hard at it regularly.
