I am sorry I did not get around to posting pictures of some of my paintings sooner. I started uploading them and then all kinds of things started popping up. I ended up having my photoe on 2 different sites (somehow???) and I started writing the descriptions while I was still in the "prevue" mode. etc.....When glitches like this happen--I give up. Have NO patience to mess around with things if I do not know what i am doing.....
SO! I waited until my daughter came bu at around 5PM. I had a list of "HELP ME!" stuff for her to attend to.

Now--everything is where it should be and I can post. Just wanted you all to know this. I ONLY painted for 4 years--2 sessions a year of 10 weeks each (1974-1978) as part of an "Adult Ed. Classes" in a church basement. I did enjoy it and my natural artistic talents came through royally. I always used a picture or a calendar or a magazine to paint from, so I cannot claim anything as a true original. Oh, there were about 2 or 3 that were composites of many "samples" and one that I DO consider an original.
I KNOW that everything i did was really good! Very realistic. But I have never been to comfortable with a lot of praise. Just never knew how ro respond to it.......almost, like I wasn't worth IT!

SO, humbly, I will post some pictures of the paintings I still have home.

This was an early one--but nice. Sorry, the flash made it a bit washed out.
