Thank you very much.
My grandfather was an artist, a painter. He used to do portraits of Indians and Animals, he also did landscapes and Pirate ships, he was also a carpenter. I spent a lot of time with him in my younger years and we used to draw and paint together and do carpentry projects. I remember sitting with him and watching good ol' Bob Ross on the tv every afternoon lol.
When I got older I stopped visiting him so much because well, I was growing up and it cost a lot of money to fly out to colorado from jersey. He actually used to drive here to see us but then that got too much for him.
I guess maybe art is just a part of who I am and I never really tapped into it until I saw Marc's videos. He sounded so encouraging and saying it's not talent and anyone can do it made me want to get back into something I used to do with my grandfather.
