I am retired and loving it, over sixty and loving it, have a wonderful husband of 47 years and love him, have three grown children and six grandchildren who have all flown the coop, am loving that too. I am a novice/beginner water colorist, I have not drawn, painted in any medium before last winter, so ask forgiveness for my 'newness', but am loving watercolor painting When I retired I said I was going to learn to be a full time person who is open to possibilities - and painting is part of being open to that. Thank you for having me! I live in Canada
