Looking back, next to climbing trees, my favorite pre-school pastime was drawing and coloring. Living in the Arizona desert, it started with purple mountains and green cactus, and as my skill developed, making paperdoll clothes. After that, art was side-tracked by life until my daughters both majored in art. It looked like such fun I purchased acrylics and made tedious attempts to paint. No one was more surprised than I that this early attempt is identifiable as pansies. It was years before I seriously pursued learning to paint. http://sharonjoymason.com
