The reason I teach is to share my love of art. I also love seeing some of the concepts dawn on my student's faces as they progress. Art truly enriches my life and I want to see that in their lives too.
Art has challenged me every step of the way. I haven't always been successful in every painting and I try to relay that to students. You will learn something in each painting and the more you paint, the better you will become. Some artists say you should paint every day. It takes discipline and sometimes I don't 'feel' like painting and some days other things get in the way and that's ok.
One of the best things is that you can paint as you age when you can't do other more active things. I think you can have lots of adventures just experimenting with color, subjects, styles, colors, etc. The possibilities are endless.
