A great read . I was definitely the one at school who was ‘good at art’ and I think it helped me through school, not sure how to explain it , a bit like a quiet super power that helped my confidence . Anyway that’s stuck with me through my whole life and I’m still learning and still drawing :)
Thanks Sarah! I know what you mean, art was the only thing I was standout good at at school, but I still somehow abandoned it. I never understood what value it could be for me. If I did use it in my later life, it was almost by accident. It’s only recently I have approached it with more intention. I love the new RA campaign which talks about art as a serious subject.
Hi again. You are so right, so often a conditioning from childhood. As you know I was in that awful place of showbiz.... but I digress. I started my drawing journey 2 years ago at the tender age of 68 (when did that happen) and it has become part of my creative journey. I absolutely love it and have discovered that I am quite good at it. You are never too old to continue your creative journey.

Thanks Helen - your drawings are wonderful, I love your horse! It’s so rewarding to be able to create things with a passion. Xx
