I have always been able to draw. I was the kid that made A's in all my art classes. It has always come easy. After a goodly number of years, and the entry of a wonderful woman into my life, the responsibility of this gift has slowly taken seed. I needed only to learn the rules and the tools. As I have become more proficient at these processes and grown more confident as an artist, the blessing of this gift is apparent. I am continually unwrapping it, finding new treasures as each layer is revealed.
