My friend, you have said you would like to study drawing and art when you retire.
How wonderful for you!
Art is a a living, loving, evolving auto biography. What you draw reflects your life, your loves, your irritations and your very unique perspective of life.
Art releases your deepest feelings, expresses and helps resolve your problems, reveals your dreams.
It creates a statement, saying I am here- I was here- I imagine this and I see this sight just this way.
Just as a writer overflows with words, a composer fills with song, and a dancer moves to express, an artist creates and shows and meanders through her medium to the rhythm of her soul.
I encourage you to daydream and doodle with a pencil in your hand. Practice and seek and learn to show what you alone want to show. Draw and draw and sketch as much as you can, and when you hit a wall in your need to express, do research from teachers and from all the beautiful creations you can find to see.
Develop an aspiration and practice toward it.
Challenge yourself to try new things.
Add some colors, a marker pen, a watercolor brush to your expressions.
Surely you will find some things you enjoy in art that you will feel good about, and are good at.
And know that you have a lifetime of free lessons and information from me, your twin sister from different mothers, waiting for you to utilize when you wish.
Take your sketchbook camping, take it to work. Leave it by the phone call center, take it to a place where you have to wait.And draw, draw, draw-
Once you have taken off, the more you will seek this fine form of self expression; may it lead you to a journey of enhanced self discovery, and personal celebration of your beautiful self!
