When did I get interested in painting?
Age 6. My great Aunt Grace lived next to the Rogers Movie Theatre in an old Brick 3 story Tenement House. I would go to the Movies with my older brother Mike on Saturdays. Afterward I would walk through the dark narrow alley to the entrance of her upstairs apartment. The apartment was sparse and meagerly decorated with worn furniture and even more worn old wooden floors that creaked. Her 2nd floor apartment was beautifully positioned over the Anna Taxi Cab Station and had a large triple double hung window with a panoramic view of the train depot and the small town of Anna. Upon my first visit I found her “painting by the numbers”. I asked her if I could paint. She let me paint a bit on her painting before I had to leave. The next Saturday I stopped by after the movie again and she had a new paint by the number kit just for me. This went on for several months. My Grandmother Mabel caught on that I enjoyed painting and she immediately connected me with an artist friend of hers named Fern Hamilton that gave private art lessons. I was age 7. I began sketching and rapidly moved to watercolor. Thus began my life long love of painting.
