My husband loves to do art work...and hes very talented at it also...both of our boys are really good artists as well...hubby says, once he is retired, he is taking painting up again, since he will have the time for it...

My hubby has kept all his art work from when he was growing up...its really great...

Our older boy, Mike, loved to do his art work, he loved to spent an evening sketching....when he was so sick with leukemia, and in the hospital so much, it was his artwork, which he pursued all the more, as it was so hard to be in the hospital for weeks at a time...He used to sketch the different doctors that he had, only he would exaggerate certain of their faces.....the doctors loved it...he would keep the original for himself, give the particular doctor a copy we had run off, and then the docs asked for another copy to hang up in the doctors lounge at the hospital...So his artwork sure did save him from boredom, when he was in the hospital...so its nice for me, to have so very much artwork from him, that I have saved over time...its just nice to be able to look at the work he did, and know how much he enjoyed it...

The younger boy, ,Andy is just as good an artist, but he does not really enjoy doing art work, so he seldom ever draws anything...it seems a waste to have a talent, that you dont like to use, but then again, if you dont enjoy using the talent, why do it?

Now I, on the other hand cannot draw anything decent at all...I draw like a 5yr old...so obviously the boys got their artistic talents from the hubby...
