![]() ![]() After 3 years at the Y where classes ran only once a week I transferred to The National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts located on East 89th Street where I could paint 4 days a week from 9AM to noon. I loved the fact that I had to think through how I was going to apply the paint on the paper and diligently plan ahead. I loved the way the pigments moved when I painted wet on wet and how I could control a fine line when I painted with a dry brush. I immediately fell in love with watercolor. I had a wonderful instructor, Rosalind Gordon, who pushed all the right buttons and who enthused me to continue my art education at the 92nd Street Y in NYC where I took an anatomy drawing course as well as an introductory course in watercolor. Upon retirement I signed up for a charcoal drawing course at the Interlaken School of Art, now known as IS183, located just outside of downtown Stockbridge, MA. In 1996, after 36 years in book publishing I retired from the business and decided to be involved directly in the arts, not just serve on some boards as a trustee, but actually participate in the arts. ![]()
