My memories had taken me back to a time when I was about eight or nine years old. After having drawn a an image from a newspaper ad I showed my step father what I'd been working on. The ad said if you can draw this mail to the address provided for a chance to go to art school. The excitement that pumped through my veins quickly dissipated when he carelessly commented that I had traced the image. From that moment on I resigned myself to the fact that I could not draw and had no creative talents whatsoever. Come to find out I can create beauty by drawing, painting writing and photography. I see and have beauty all around me and with this I create.
Now I teach myself the art of art.
