fun side up

When I was three years old, Bob Ross was my inspiration . His TV show taught me early on how to paint and draw. I vividly remember watching him painting a feather. I tried to mimic his brush strokes with my crayons. My Mother is also my inspiration. She used to make and paint ceramics. And she was really into stained glass. She used to let my sister and I paint with her. Then when I was seven years old, I received my first camera. It had a flash bulb. The camera was film and only allowed me about ten photographs. I used to arrange my stuffed animals all around the house and yard in different creative positions and take their photographs. Art is in my blood. I studied Art and Photography in High School and College. For years, it was just a hobby. Just recently I realized that I should use my artistic abilities to make it a career. Why shouldn't I be doing what I love and getting paid for it? Enjoy! Love and Gratitude, Andy www.zazzle.com/fun_side_up
