Introduction
I made a living selling my art for many years. Due to life's twists and turns--I married a legendary msft software engineer; we started a our own software company back in the early eighties. He died 7 years ago and I've not done much art since then.
What are your passions?
I want to get back into art, especially drawing. It's the most direct medium; that's why I enjoy it. When I was very young I had no limits, since I didn't have to make a living at it then. Nor do I now. My passion: drawing/painting living things.
What types of art materials/mediums do you like to work with?
Pencil, pen, mixed media, oil, sometimes watercolor and acrylic. May want to try three dimensional work but have no experience at it. Open to new experiences, since it's not a business for me anymore.
What is your figure drawing experience and what would you like from a figure drawing meetup?
I've had extensive figure drawing and painting experience in the past, but none recently, and I'd like to get started again. Made my living selling art for many years.
Do you have a current art project? Idea? Do you need help with it?
I want to create art for myself, from a spiritual level, rather than simply as objects to sell to others. I've been been there and done that! I'll just let my new style develop naturally. At 60, I no longer need to do art as a business!
Besides Figure Drawing - What Hobbies/Interests do you have?
animals, birds, plants (my main subjects now and from the beginning), botany, spiritual growth, history, books, and a wide range of other things. Member of Mensa.
