I am 74 years old, retired, and had hoped to go to art school back in the '70's.

(I am now the oldest surviving member, of my Mother, Father, and one Sister.)

I originally joined flickr to ask permission to paint other peoples' photos, for auctions to benefit retired Greyhounds and other dogs from around the world. As the Covid-19 virus has stopped all volunteering for about a year now, I decided to get my own camera and start taking my own photos, some of which I plan to paint in the future.
