To keep an eye on my sister and I, while she painted, our mom would sit us down with her homemade finger paints* to keep us busy while she set up her easel, in her farm kitchen, and painted oils. I was painting in oils by the time I was seven years old. And I have been painting in oils, acrylics, watercolors and drawing six decades hence. When I was 12 - during the hippie movement with all their beads - we moved to within a mile a bead shop. A bead shop where you could by beads by the pound!!! Imagine the joy of that creative 12 year old! From that day forward I have made my own jewelry.
The scent of linseed oil is as much a part of my memories of home as the smell of vegetable soup simmering on the stove, or fresh cornbread baking.
