## Caption

About 18 months, I decided to start painting with my kids, since the table was covered with art supplies at all times.  I've avoided ANY sort of art mediums, other than photography, since I was a kid.  I didn't like art class in school.  Part ADD, part I didn't know how to do anything and the teachers never really showed me the way.  I believed my entire life, until age 41, that I wasn't capable of making a stick figure look like a stick figure.  But I've always admired good art.  I have wonderfully gifted aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends that paint, and my kids and wife had really grown in their skills as artists.  I was tired of wishing, so I decided to give it a try.

My first attempt (not pictured because I don't have a good scan of it), was a depiction of the cover of the second volume of GOLF is art.  I was quite happy with how it turned out.  My second painting, the Bandon flag painting, is what really opened my eyes to what I could be capable of.  I felt like I nailed the flag how it appeared in the original photograph I captured at Bandon.  That sparked a massive curiosity.  So, I've continued.  I think I've completed 14 paints or so, including my first ever commissioned piece (not pictured as it is a gift that hasn't been received yet). I don't plan to make a career of it, as I'll leave that to the professionals dpbays_art chandler.withington joe.woldt.art samvangalderart clairenilanart allyaikendesign and so many others.  But you'll likely find me on a first tee somewhere with colored pencils and at the easle in my kitchen.
