I'm a semi-retired MD Internist in Newark, De. My lifelong hobby has been drawing, later adding pen/ink, watercolors, oils, acrylic and the most beautiful skin tones in chalk pastels usually "in larger" hot pressed watercolor paper or multimedia board. But photography is how I capture the world first! I went "back" and received my BA in Art from the university of Delaware although YOUTUBE is really my teacher of choice! My first darkroom training in B/W was at De. College of Art and Design, setting up my own darkroom in my basement again working large! Larger wall art lives with you, not something you walk over and peer into.
In Internal Medicine residency training in procedures, moto was "watch them, learn them, teach them " because each year you start as a novice first year resident (years past=Intern), and each year there were first and second year residents under you that you had to teach! In medical school on surgical block, is where I learned to "sew" and staple to "close". Pasing on of knowledge and physical training have been the basis for human enlightenment! Developing arts, skills, and hobbies in others, helps us all to see the world and add beauty, in our own little worlds and those of others! Igniting the spark in someone else, that they never started themselves, can add a new phase in someone else's life, just as sculpture at UD Art did for me! Welding steel? When did I ever think that was for me? It was creative aging!!! Who Knew?
