I am a 55 year old female who has only just learnt to paint 5 years ago. My husband had a horrific accident that has left him a Paraplegic. I became his Carer as of that day. Upon returning home 7 months later after the extensive time in hospital and then rehab his Dr became concerned that I wasn't getting out and doing anything. She suggested I come along to painting with her. I said that I don't know how to paint or draw. I am crafty but not in the sense of artistic. Anyway I went along to art classes once a week and learnt the basics. Over the next 2 years I went along every week art was on. I was very nervous as I didn't understand which colours to use, wasn't confident in mixing paint when alone. I considered I could mimic a photo but this was my downfall.
