In Defense of Late Bloomers

I love your work. It took me until I was 65 to get back into painting after a lot of work before I had time.

Thank you so much, April! Life is journey. Nothing is written in stone until we're gone...always a chance to reinvent!

I have painted oil on canvas during the 90s, and kept all my "paintings" intact!!! I also have dry pastels and watercolours.....all "cosmic" and flowers!!!But, now, I'm lost!I wanted a new "hobby" and bought books about Jewellerys....i stopped!!!I need a new style, and I like your works....i've always been interested in "mixed media"; even my watercolours are not "classic"....my ghod! i need a new art hobby! tfs

Thanks so much…I painted exclusively in oil for a long time when younger…but now, I focus on a mixed media approach. I enjoy the spontaneity of using different traditional and unconventional materials. By all means, break all the rules. It’s great not to know exactly what you’re doing when starting a new piece with mixed media…it can allow you to find more possibilities.

@@jameshuntley9674 I knew you had a baggage and a background....I can see them on your mixed media works! I'm a sunday painter! I painted coz it was necessary, but these days, my canvasses are left half painted!!! I'm gonna need a new start...but, I can't leave the cosmics behind, it always make a mark on all my works! I'm selling all my paintings this year, or next year...I have a sister in america that "motivates" me to selling them!

[@TheresaREAberilla]

I have always been loving my family and my son, my ex and his nephews....I don't sell my own paintings for myself, but for them!!! I love them so much, and I have this urge and direction for them, alone!
