Your florals are fabulous, Connie. After enjoying your bio. story, I'd like to see some of your fine art, too! I'll bet it's wonderful, as well!
Connie Handscomb replied:
You're so kind; I think the photography is a more instant gratification for me. I didn't stay in the fine arts program long enough to become really Fine at it ... I switched majors ... & then,Life moved me in another direction. I'll be tweaking my bio (one day ... time flies by so fast!) I'll be mentioning that when I modify it. Hopefully I'll be able to splash around with the paints more in the future. Thank you so very much! :))
