While cleaning through my basement, I came across some artwork I created as a kid. My parents provided a very creative environment that was conducive for me and my siblings to draw, paint, sculpt, sew clothes, cook, bake, build tree houses. I'm very grateful for those times and tried to impart that atmosphere for my children.
The first one, from 1979, is an acrylic painting that is based on a National Geographic wildlife photo. Below that is a watercolor I created in 1980 of a grouse, pheasant and turkey. The sketch is from 1978 and I was about 14 years old.
