Artist’s date ends with paint

<p>When I was a child, I drew and I painted. I had a wonderful art teacher in high school. He taught me line drawing, taught me to appreciate poetry, and introduced me to &ldquo;The Hobbit&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Lord of the Rings&rdquo;.</p> <p>I was in hospital for several weeks when I was 17, I remember having a sketch book with me and drawing all the time. Where did that go? It seemed to disappear once I left school. I was told that art and music were hobbies, agreeable pastimes on days off, but that one needed to do something &lsquo;serious&rsquo; to make a living.</p> <p>Then, a few years ago, I was working through &lsquo;The Artist&rsquo;s Way&rsquo; with a girlfriend. I was out on an &lsquo;artist date&rsquo; with myself, window shopping and poking in antique stores. I walked by this art supply store. In the window was a set of watercolour paints like the ones we used to have in school. It was on sale.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@vdenyx/artists-date-ends-with-paint-3791d113841b"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
