New beginnings

I like art, really, really like it. There was a time when I would paint or draw every day (ah youth!). But then I got older and lots of things kept getting in the way of my art activities. I still made the time to read art books and go to museums, but I just wasn't creating very much of my own. 

But for the past few months I've felt what I can only describe as something germinating slowly in my mind - a feeling that I really should begin making some art again. So, I have been.  And I would have posted images sooner, but I had my heart set on getting a fancy scanner. The scanner has yet to materialize, so I fiddled about with my camera this morning.  And the results weren't too bad.  So here goes!
