“My Space”<\/h2>\n

Watercolor by John McLaren<\/h4>\n

2021, Art 8×13<\/h4>\n

As Pablo Picasso once said: we are all artists as children, the problem is to remain one as we grow up.<\/p>\n

I will keep trying to rediscover that right-brained freedom of my youth that is such a prerequisite to becoming a true artist. In the meantime, I can only hope to stay healthy and busy and now and then produce something that someone enjoys.<\/p>\n
