Well folks,

   I just turned 70 at the end of 2010.  I retired as a computer designer at Motorola after about 20 years.  Before that I retired with20 years in the Navy.

  I have always possessed some art talent and created many drawings, watercolors, and pastel paintings along the way, but wasn't that good.  I always looked for perfection in my endeavors, even though I didn't know what that was . 

  I dug out my art materials about a week ago and enjoyed looking at them.  I haven't touched them in 20 years.  They are probably antiques by now!!   My heroes back then were Leslie DeMille, Dan Greene, Edgar Degas, and other Impressionists.  There is a Spanish pastel artist; Jose Fuentetaja that I greatly admire.

  Anyway, I am trying to get inspired and as enthusiastic as I can about art again.  This forum looks to be a good start.

Thanks to all.

Jim
