I have been retired from government service: case worker, case worker supervisor, probation officer, psychiatric social worker, and finally correction's counselor. I have been restoring my health for the past 5 years: I changed my diet. I used to keep a large garden before I got ill. I am looking forward to growing a small garden soon. Grew tomatoes, garlic and onions plus lettuce, carrots and peas.
At this stage of my life a Journal will help me organize myself in preparation for the day that will surely come.
It was easier to copy the image than attempt to draw from the living bird. I tried drawing the birds coming to the feeder this morning and it was very challenging but the results can be made to work with time and practice. I am 81 years old and would love still to learn to paint. I was going to register in another class but when I saw this offer I decided for my coming birthday to accept the challenge. Francisco.
