thankyou name I will pass along the compliment.

My father is self-taught. He just started painting a few years ago and would spends hours and days in the library, bookstores, online learning techniques.
I don't have the discipline for all that so I just like to sit back and enjoy art.

Afriki thanks for sharing, you must really be proud of your dad. I think the first one is a winner. Does he have a website?

Afriki, your dad is very talented. Hard to believe that he taught himself just a few years ago. Thanks for sharing.
