I am a self taught artist who taught Mathematics in Kent County, Ontario, for 34 years.  Then at age 66 I decided to try my hand at painting landscapes in oil.  I had never done anything artistically before.  The first month or two I produced some very poor quality work, but then it started to click.  My only “instruction” was to watch a few Bob Ross videos and also some videos by Jason Bowen, an English chap, on YouTube.  I have taken part in a couple of Art in the Park type shows and have sold a few of my works.  Now, I feel that I have enough quality work to display some of it publicly on the interweb.
