When I was maybe twelve or thirteen years old I attended a group art workshop for children my age. The local artist Gay Felton taught the lessons at her "Art Barn". She inspired me greatly and taught me many of the essential fundamentals of art. Later I took one art class in college while on my way to a degree in computer art and animation. That class reestablished some basics and also expanded my horizons a bit. I enjoy painting or sketching as much as possible, wherever and whenever I can! Hopefully, through much practice and repetition, I will someday come close to pleasing that perfectionist side of mine!
