I’ve just came back to art after a hiatus that lasted from the early 70s until now. Not that I had that much experience.  I took some sketching and oil painting classes, and produced a few pieces that I enjoyed hanging on my walls.  I went back to college and got my degree in Latin American Studies and then a Masters of Business Administration in International Management.  Life took over and art vanished.

I retired to a warmer climate, and in January a friend introduced me to the Brownsville Art League.  I signed up for 2 sketching classes, took a 5 day softie pastel workshop (where I found myself sadly allergic), and then simultaneously another pastel class (where I alone used oil pastels), followed by a watercolor class.  I’ve also been working with acrylics.  It’s too soon to be sure, but it’s looking like my best results are coming in oil pastels.
