My passion in life is nature , especially the land and animals.  I love to notice how shadows lay on the trees and building--anything outside.  I love animals ( have three cats).  I am passionate about their welfare and hate hunters.   I try to turn these passions into drawing and painting them.  When I was a little girl I remember drawing and painting with watercolor.  My parents encouraged me, thank goodness.  When I was a young teenager I was SO passionate in my artwork.  Mostly I did pencil or charcoal drawings and I still have those pictures.  Someday I hope to have them copied into a computer so I can send them to esnips. Meanwhile I am learning so much here at this site, looking at other's pictures and noting what people say they like about my work.  It's valuable and I enjoy hearing from people who love art too.
