As I told subscribers in my monthly newsletter, I received my first oil paint set when I was twelve, a gift from my mom. In my twenties, I switched to acrylics (I’m too impatient to wait while oils dry). These days, while I enjoy pulling out my paints on occasion, I can say with all honesty that I’m not a true artist.
