Where are the pictures?

We set up a slide show that it seems is somewhere in cyperspace....lost in space. The Pictures are from a series I've been painting for 2years called "Scenes from the Highway". I'm a bit out of order of my journey as an artist. I've jumped from early childhood to now. I'm sorry. Perhaps you would rather hear about now anyway. I can say that I've spent most of my life becoming and artist. I realy did not have much formal tranining during my school years, except for the art classes in jr.high and high school, which stopped when we moved from Austin, Tx to Pearland, Tx. There were no art classes. I picked up art training in college where I majored in Art, esp. in sculpture. I married, had 3 beautiful children in 2 years (when our son was 2yrs, we had twins) and put art aside. I was a bit overwhelmed. I returned to classes at the community college near our home in Pasadena,Tx'. When all my children were in school. I retook drawing and painting. Actually, I took Ad. art, painting and got into clay. Working in clay is terribly addictive. I was doing quite well when a wrist problem caused me to go back to painting. I later found out the wrist problem was a neck problem. When we moved to Michigan in 2002, I got a job. Hated the job and when I had enough money, opened an art studio. It just happeded that several people in this area were wanting to move forward in the Arts. I think I'll tell you about the arts in Jackson,Michigan next time. Who knows, perhaps the slide show will come back from outer space. Til then. God bless you, tomorrow will be a great day. Betty Kay
