I think a supportive spouse is so important for an artist. Also - I am so right-brained, his logical left-brain keeps me on the straight and narrow! :-)<br />You are very correct - there is something about old vehicles that is very appealing to me - and for me expecially vintage trucks. I have some good photos of rusty bicycles that a good friend sent to me though, that I am getting ready to start on!Barb Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632810668704142394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477523791028247348.post-76804297219763600432010-08-09T16:15:53.115-04:002010-08-09T16:15:53.115-04:00Nancy...I may be an inspiration to you, but your k...Nancy...I may be an inspiration to you, but your kind words are always inspiring to me!

I am going to turn 72 next month - hard to believe - I don't feel that old! :)It is really great that painting has found you. I tried to check out your web site but couldn't connect for some reason. You should try entering some contests - it is a wonderful experience. I am also a retired educator - I retired for the second time in June of this year - a total of 45 years in the classroom - 40 of them in public school art educ. and 5 in elementary education.

I also paint but the big difference is that I didn't take it up seriously until the last year or so. I never had any lessons but started out very tentatively seeing if I could do it and if I wanted to. It was very nerve wracking posting my 'masterpieces' at first. But i'm getting used to it. Never put up any in an art show though. I do admire your artwork, so congratulations again.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477523791028247348.post-70565603152322845612010-08-08T22:44:06.915-04:002010-08-08T22:44:06.915-04:00Barb, I'm so happy to be the first to say Wow!...Barb, I'm so happy to be the first to say Wow! you've done great.. your awards, the show, your paintings ....
