One of our grandsons will be 6 this year. Wow…this is the age I was when I started taking oil painting and pastel lessons in Mrs. Dyer’s basement long ago. After I had won a ribbon in a local art show for a painting of a clown (I was a weird kid who actually liked them), my Mom thought… “maybe our girl is artistic?” From there, it was all about art and design. I took art in grade school and high school and capped it off with a degree in Graphic Design. (That was the only way to make a living as an artist, said my guidance counselor at the time.)
