A lifetime ago I had a background in fine/graphic arts but for a variety of reasons I had gotten away from this early passion. When COVID forced my very busy life (business travel, gym, time with family & friends, going to live music and sporting events) to a grinding halt I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I decided to spend some of this time creating again with pencil, charcoal, acrylic and oil mediums. I regret ever stopping and will never do that again. I now try and do art every day if I can.
