Artist

An artist? Not really but I was lucky enough growing up to win a few local art show awards and sell some of my work.

It wasn’t until I was an adult that appreciated these things.

You see I was a high school art failure. It’s not like I shone or won anything in that space but I loved to create. Admittedly I hated oils and anything that required a paint brush but I felt happily in control with soft pastels. I think that’s what I didn’t like about school art. I had to create something but within these tight restrictions.

My work was not prolific! I did win a few awards at the Orange Blossom art show as a junior. A few of my works were sold. At the same time my father took up picture framing and some of my work was sold through his shop.

I didn’t do much and I haven’t for many years. So not really an artist but I have sold my artworks! Man however if I was to become a famous artist in my dotage those few pieces would be worth a fortune – very rare indeed!
