When I was in grade one (Ottawa, ON) we did finger painting. I
don't remember doing any finger painting earlier in school... I
do remember I really enjoyed it when I finally did get a chance
in grade one, and wanted to do it again. I never understood why
it wasn't part of the curriculum, even in
junior high, high school...
A re-creation of the finished piece of art
is at right.
Actually, in the first half of grade one
(Cornwall, ON) before we moved I had a
memorable art teacher that thought I had
talent and made me promise to keep working on my art... after
this discussion (my last day of school before moving) she let me
pick a book from the class library to keep as a memento. I chose
"Mr. Pine's Purple House."
The only art training I have is in watercolour painting which of
course has included some basic drawing lessons...
The first class I took was a night class the summer of 2003 at
NSCAD (Nova Scotia Collage of Art and Design) - "Introduction
to WaterColour."
I started a class with Kay Stanfield January, 2004. Cancelled
by me after two classes due to moving etc.
Night class in Musquodoboit Harbour with Heather Crout,

Three day workshop with Ron Hazell , May 2006.
