Thanks for the kind words. Actually, contrary to my past response here to Mike, I started sketching when I maybe four or five years age watching my father who was an art major.

However, many will be surprised that with a little patience and practice they to can do exactly what I am doing. It is easy to start as a child because we have no inhibitions early in life. As adults we have built up so many excuses, judgments, political beliefs, reasons that the enjoyment of this over much time spent may not produce an income at it, that we will never see the point of why some do it for just say sheer relaxation and enjoyment.

I would encourage you to try though. Just start by observing and maybe use a graphite pencil to carefully make light scratches onto paper. Do not be concerned about mistakes. Believe me, I have made errors in the first images but you will learn from those errors. Or they can become abstract art. A thought for another discussion later.
