    Mine is the opposite… my daughter has phenomenal artistic talent…so I try to brush up on technique and skills, watch how to and tutorials to assist her… luckily, I can parrot what I’ve heard and she can take it and run with it, but all their coaching falls on incompetent earswhere I’m concerned lol

    I spend a fair bit of time in various art museums…and I could easily see your work fitting in, assuming it survives the fickle whims, and vagaries of the art world.

      Sounds like an awesome bonding and memory experience! I’m envious I didn’t share my love of art as much with my children.

      And thank you, maybe one day after I die 😂

        Why wait? Find some local coffee shop or something, see if they need for sale decor or something. A random internet stranger believes in you, that’s gotta count for something, right? 😜

          Yes it does, random internet stranger!

          I’m not sure I want to sell my art. Not that people won’t buy it but I fear I’ll lose the joy in it. And I’ll never be able to go full time in art. I make too much money and enjoy being a math nerd way too much for that change. If I had to pick, I’d pick math nerd over artist.

          But art is pretty cool as a hobby. And if I don’t do an art show I’m not taking it seriously enough to take time away from being a math nerd.

          Do you buy my excuse? 😂
