Artist by Night

Based on the hasty half-drawn chalk outlines that I sketch on the chalkboard while demonstrating concepts to my students, they would laugh if I claimed to be an artist. I only know this because they have. In fact, they do laugh at all my chalk drawings, and their favorite thing to do is make wise cracks about the fact that my airplanes look more like ducks than aircraft. Nevertheless, I do consider myself an artist, however unfounded that belief might be. Mostly, I WANT to be an artist. I have dabbled in watercolor since high school and am on a journey to improve my skills. Someday I’ll be really good at it.
