**********Olney Arts Council**********

I draw portraits , mostly of my grandchildren --but I have drawn for other people too ( for a fee)Am I famous ? To my kids and grandkids ..;)I display in several places in Olney , through the OAC . Right now I have work in the Court House ==Sheila Ritter's area .For sale ? I have been commisioned to draw for several people .I do have Web albums , but I have to invite by "invitation only "I was taught by my brother , Stan Novak .He is my inspiration , and my hero in the Art World . I used to try to give him all the credit , but he would not accept that --he said "I helped you find it , that's all " Art is an outlet to help me relax ....Do I have a day job ? I babysit 4 or 5 days every week for one of my grandchildren ( --he is almost 2 )My biggest challenge as artist ? My brother , Stan passed away 1 1/2 years ago ---way to early in my learning experience ! I have thousands of questions yet to ask him !What do I want to be in my next life ? Hmmmm ...are you sure there is a next life ? If there is , I think I would happy to live this one over again , and correct the many mistakes I made this time around !!!! But we can't do that can we ? I would like to answer one question that several people have asked me "Do I wish I had started to draw earlier in life ?" No , I had to wait until my life quieted down ...and the time was available to spend on it . You can never change the past ...just move on and keep trying to make the most of each day ..
