Paintings

[Seated Woman]

Art is a very personal pursuit, and it's hard to do it "wrong",
but it never hurts to get formal instruction.
Online art schools offer the training in the technical aspects
like shading, light sourcing, drybrushing and the like
that can help refine an artist's personal style.

History

I've started a collection of vintage and contemporary art by Mount Holyoke alumnae.
