Paul has been sketching since he was a kid; painted acrylics and oils in his late 20s. He had to stop after he had 4 kids. He is retired since the fall of 2015; after reaching age 70 and he started painting watercolors and acrylics. He has a great appreciation for art of all kinds because art adds enjoyment to his life. I have a wonderful wife, 6 children, and 12 grandchildren.
