The Longest Love Affair of My Life.

   Fri, May 16, 2008 - 7:59 AM
This spring I have been watercolor painting for...gulp...17 years.

I didn't even WANT to learn watercolor....I tried to take an oil class twice. It got cancelled...twice. Acrylic didn't fit into my schedule...so I took watercolor. Ho hum, I thought it would be fun and "whatever".......But to my astonishment.... I loved it . LOVED IT. In fact, I loved it so much I declared (to myself, the universe, and anybody who cared to listen) that my main plan for the upcoming summer was to paint, paint, and PAINT.

Well, I never stopped. And here I am, 17 years later, somehow managing to support myself on it (tho it is hairy at times).

And I have yet to try oil painting......
