I took a course (many years ago) at an art college. Had a fight with a teacher on the 2nd day and it went downhill from there. After I stopped, I no longer even sketched or painted, moving over to words for expressing myself.

Nice post, but I do not understand why, since you are a graphic artist, you used pictures from Pixabay instead of your own? Surely showing your own work is both a matter of pride and a good marketing exercise?
