I guess it all started with the Bonte sisters, my becoming an artist that is. Back in 2004 Gary and I moved to Florida. I had been working full time in Utah and after the move I had more time on my hands than I knew what to do with. One afternoon as I was looking through the local newspaper I saw three sketches that caught my eye. They were of Anne, Emily and Charlotte Bonte, well known as a trio of sibling poets and novelists. I purchased a drawing pad and pencil and gave it a try. For a beginner I thought they were okay but knew I had a long way to go. It was all I needed to give me a taste of something I knew I wanted to continue. I will be sharing the path I’ve taken over the years since then. Below are my sketches of the sisters.
