Keep on Rockin in The Art World!

Feedback from Eileen Weaver

When I was 4yrs my teacher said I had a good eye for art on my first school report in England. My father was great at drawing and during the war would draw my mother on blue airmail paper and send her the pictures.

My parents sent me to art school when I was 10,. we were trained more for industrial trades ..painting badges, enamelling and painting dishes and ornaments in the potteries of Stoke and Midlands England. There were many skills taught in art school but a lot missing with regard to fine art on canvas. These skills I do not possess.

I have tried to learn from videos on the internet and do the best I can. My father died when I was 22 so further instruction was not an option for me. I just keep going with the resources I have. Mostly working on my art when not at the job and purchasing used canvas and paints at the thrift or outdoor sales. Like most students of your site we want to improve and encourage others to take an interest in art as its the worlds most valued treasured gift.
