It was in a basement, rather than a barn, which is the traditional place to find an antique scooter. Someday, somewhere, I plan to post some of my scooterless paintings. So far, the only places that I've found for posting art are sites where it is for sale. Mine are not for sale.

What ability? I had a really great artist and teacher standing behind me to tell me every move. The last two painting I did in that class were with a little less help, and I think they are better.(He said, modestly.) I just like the subject matter of that one.
Actually, I took the class because my grandson was taking it. He was 10 and I was 62, which just happens to be the age when my mother took up painting. She was a born artist.
