When I was young, I wanted to be an artist, but I married and had children. As a wife and mother, I tried to practice my craft by setting up a studio in my home, but that didn’t work, because my children either smeared the freshly painted canvas, or they squeezed the paint tubes dry and tried to paint everything in the house, including my shoes. So I gave up painting and turned to sketching instead, but after a while it was just infrequent doodling.
I always loved to read, thanks to my Mother, Vernice Tankersley Watson, originally from East Bernstady, Kentucky, my Aunt Mary Horne, al more...
