Haha, me with a paintbrush. Now that's funny.
A speech pathologist was at my house one day and he said I want you to draw a portrait of yourself. Oh yeah right sure. I said are you sure they'll have room in the Louvre maybe next to the Mona Lisa?
Well, I started on my masterpiece. He didn’t believe me when I said I couldn’t draw. But he forced my hand so I started drawing my stick figure portrait.
He wasn’t really interested in what it would look like he was interested in what it contained, mouth, nose hair, shoes, pants shirt & attempted to draw a woman's purse in his hand. He asked what the square and curved line was, I said he's a purse snatcher.
So I guess right now you know that a paintbrush in my hand would be a major disaster. Maybe I could paint a canvas solid black and just say it's midnight.
To be honest I think that would look better than some of the paintings I see hanging in art galleries. I think the way people describe paintings and wine is hilarious. I saw a guy and he was talking about wine and he said it has an earthy flavor, does that mean it tastes like dirt?
I took a calligraphy class with a friend and we had to draw the lines. The class was three hours long and at the end of the class I was still trying to draw my lines believe it or not. And then the teacher says to put our work on the board oh yeah right sure like that’s gonna happen. My friends work was beautiful but needless to say I never went back.Still to this day I can’t draw a straight line. you’re probably sick of people asking you this, I think you said that but anyway I wish I had a painting of my favorite mountain Mount Shasta in California painted by you.
Take it easy,
Jake

@jakedduck1. Hahaha Jake. No worries, I can't draw a straight line either! And your all-black painting could have potential in the art world. There's a very famous all-white painting I learned about in art school Art History! The artist's name escapes me just now.
If I ever get back to painting again, I'd be honored to paint your beloved Mt. Shasta for you.
I hope you have a great day today.

Thanks for the kind welcome. Has anyone noticed that they tip to one side? It is odd and doesn't happen often but it bothers me. Sometimes I fall, but usually I just grab onto something. Well, I just wondered, thanks.
