@Polllardii Thank you. Painting was my first love. I started drawing people at the age of four, with the help of my brother. I will not embellish the drawings; they were, well, 4-year-oldish. But they were not stick figures either. I was so proud that I kept drawing. In 1971, I became paralyzed on my right side and could not draw or paint, so I had to relearn everything, from eating, walking, writing, and yes, painting and drawing. My art became more impressionistic, and my drawing was done with wide strokes, more like that of a sketch artist, because of the lack of fine motor control. Both were helpful, as they taught me to move my arm and not my fingers for details. It gave me freedom.
