I went to school to be an art teacher, but never finished...
started painting and drawing as a small child. My Grandparents wouldn't allow coloring books-- they bought me paints, pastels, chalk, colored pencils., and LOTS of paper!!!
I now write and illustrate childrens books (Working on finding a publisher) and have done MANY murals at local businesses and in peoples homes (I LOVE Doing Nurseries for new Moms!)
I mostly do "Multi-media" using a base of watercolor then layers of pastel or colored pencil and india ink.... though I do love to do pencil work!
Maybe the Staff here would start a gallery for art by members?????
I for one would REALLY Like to see other folks work!!!
