Traveling Artist

I have always wanted to learn how to paint in oils, but I felt too intimidated in college to learn. Then I did the whole go to college, transfer colleges, transfer back to original college, graduate from college, get a job, get transferred to yankeeville, fall in love, get married, buy a dog, buy a house, renovate a house, have a child, buy another dog, have another child, buy a REALLY old house, (for which I was so unprepared), renovate that house, raise a family and then my kids abruptly left me at the same time last year.
