Us Late Starters

Hi Ngaire -

I sure can relate to the late starting out. For mainly family reasons, I put aside art for years...(.it's hard to do too much when you're supporting not only a child but an invalid spouse, yet I used that as an excuse at times I think). I feel the need to make up for lost time very strongly too. When I was a late teen, an artist teacher commented on my lack of commitment. Well, better late than never!

About the color sketch - yes, it is scary to put something "out there". I was terrified the first time. But go ahead - take the plunge. You'll be glad you did!
