The “what will I be when I grow up”, I will play with these things here. Almost all artists I know will tell you they intend never to grow up because we are always learning and becoming. So I play, work out detail, and grow. I will be posting thing that I work on in paper here. They may be oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil and charcoal, but all will be on paper. Some may be finish work other will be the beginnings of something bigger. Generally people don’t understand how to play.
