This painting is is about the only thing I have left. All my relatives wanted my paintings, so I have very few left. I had given my son's grandmother 3 or 4 through the years. Since she has passed, they must be stored away somewhere. I hope he discovers them one day, because I feel it is part of myself that I will leave behind to him. I remember two distinctly that I had given her. One was of a bouquet of white roses and one of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon one I feel was the best I ever painted. I do hope it is still around and not thrown away or ruined from neglect. When you paint, it is like a part of you...a part of yourself inside that reaches out to the world. A small piece of yourself that perhaps the world can see and understand a bit of who you are, what you appreciate and the love you have for beautiful things.
I have a love for oil painting. I belive to be a God given talent to me. I've not painted in years and have a strong urge lately to begin again. So, I've been asking around to discover where a good place to take some lessons to refresh my talents and learn new things. I've been told Wichita Center of the Arts is a great place to learn. In fact, my granddaughter went there when she was four years old for pre school! There was a wonderful diplay of all the childrens work at the end of the year. It was great. I'm including one of her wonderful creations as well! Needless to say, I will be paying Wichita Center of the Arts a visit to get myself back on the road of creating and adding that bit of peace back in my life!

Love your painting and your granddaughter's too. Did not know this about you. Love art as well and would some day like to take up painting. Was introduced to painting when I was in middle school and loved it. But then we moved away and my interests took a different path. Hope you've found the class and are doing this art that is so a part of you.
