I discovered I have a talent for abstract, impressionist art after retiring from the oil & gas industry. Retirement gave me the time to take art classes to learn painting techniques. I started experimenting and researching different media and techniques on my own and I am still experimenting and learning while taking the occasional class, too. I've recently started painting rocks and stones, and it is a blast. Eventually, I would like to have classes in my studio so I can share with others what I have leaned and hopefully bring them the joy I feel when I am creating my projects.
