Painting has been one of the most joyful experiences of my retired life. I had never learned to either draw or paint in school or even afterwards until just before I retired. I did not know how much I loved color until I started painting.
It has also taught me to observe things. When one learns to draw, one realizes how critical observation is. Things are not what they seem! And it has shown me how much I love nature. It takes my breath away to see a beautiful moonrise or a tree in full bloom. These are invaluable gifts that painting has given me.

Lovely ones. Well done and more grace.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Mehr Khan. I enjoyed the slideshow.
ReplyDeleteI think I will share some of Ralph Diaz' photos, too, if that is permitted. UNICEF had a lot of amazing people, and now that they are retired, they are discovering other talents that were hidden while they pursued their careers working for the World's Children.
