Art work, water colors, acrylic and oils

Art age 71 (2018) I decided to learn to paint.  I had always had an interest  in the creative process.  During my Army days I learnd some basic pencil schetching in 1970.  When I met my wife (then my girlfriend) I drew her portrait.  By 1973 I had stopped sketching or drawing for 45 years I did not draw and one day started woking on a few ideas.  By May 2018 I actually started painting.  Each picture that I have completed I tried to learn anything that would be helful in the future.  I painy to keep my mind sharp and enjoy the learning that is involved.
