I have begun my next chapter in life.  Having always loved art and always wondering if this would ever be possible to be AN ARTIST... I hope I don't become like those commercials on t.v. that say "sofa-sized paintings for only $19 on liquidation sale now at the downtown best western!"  Four years of being an art teacher and saying "yeah, get out there and sell that!" isn't forgotten.  I'm going to get out there and sell it too.  It might be a little dirty but the end result will be so sweet!  Remembering what you loved as a kid, for me it's always been art or gardening, and getting paid for it, that's where I'm headed.
