Oh, I love this! A pianist who sketches birds? That’s artistry twice over. It’s never about whether we were “the artistic one” — it’s about daring to pick up a pencil (or a brush, or an oyster fork!) and let your curiosity lead. Pretty good at it? Honey, that’s ambition in flight. Keep sketching!
Well…I took up violin in my 70s, played with a community orchestra. Still play duets with a friend. Then recently returned to playing piano after decades of neglect.
I also do some writing I call poemlets, just describing things I see around me.
Never the artistic one aside from being a pianist, I've started sketching birds, and I'm pretty good at it. 😊

I’m 78. In good health. Happy. Grateful.
