I Wish I Could Draw! There’s No Reason Why You Can’t Oh, if only I were paid a dollar for every time I heard someone say, “I wish I could draw” I’d be a millionaire by now! But seriously, if you want to draw, then draw! There’s no reason why you can’t. I can guess […]
Picking Art Supplies Which Ones Are Right For You? I’ve spoken before about picking art supplies, one brand versus another, how they compare, how they perform, etc. My general rule when picking art supplies?

Our pets become part of the family. “Keo-boy”, my siamese, was just a month shy of 20 yrs old. It was very difficult when I had to put him down. It was so hard that I even had him cremated. Myra surprised me with a picture of him, which sits in my bedroom til this day. “Babe” followed “Keo” & if you know a bit about Maine Coons you know they have long beautiful hair with striking patterns. She surprised me one Xmas with a portrait of the big boy. I can’t believe it is done with only pencil. She captured every detail perfectly. I have known Myra all her life, as I am her auntie. She has always had a knack for drawing. At 4, she even placed her artwork on my white leather chair! I have seen her develop into a fantastic artist. I will treasure my works of art forever.
