Learning from books

My interest in art began at about age seven when my teacher introduced me to finger-paint.

In the early fifties, I learned to draw from a book by Walter T. Foster, titled: How to Draw Cats. 

I like the way frames enhance the image, similar to the way our environment places us in a particular framework which may in some way, influence our life. 

After the 1950s, I went on to learn about other mediums and painting styles.

 I created a painting in early 1970,  based on this drawing that I completed in 1956. 

One of my neighbors liked it so much that I gave it to her before I was  able to take a photo.  It looked like stained glass.
