          There's no age to start again.......whatever you want to do....

Valar Morghulis ! dear friend....

In elementary school, you studied, ...where??, and then in high school...where??...

and the piano where??...

Mmm...I'd like listening  the Pathetique but....in your hands... jeje....

       I was thinking that when I was in elementary school... for some reason, yet to be elucidated, I never painted or drew... when I needed to paint an assignment, I would ask one of my sisters to help me... of course, she would end up making the drawing and painting it... hahaha... she liked doing it... and then I would get a good grade for the assignment, when I handed it in at school....... but I knew the teacher knew I hadn't done it... she would look at me and smile... and I would smile back... it was a situation of complicity... hahaha... and, besides, I really liked her... hahaha... she was pretty... and I think she clearly realized that I liked her....... and time passed and passed without me picking up a paintbrush or a sketchbook.....and the years went by........ at university I came into contact with pencils, brushes and paints..... but at first it was to write in the streets of the city (we were y without freedom, with a curfew and under the military dictatorship....)... so, you can imagine that I went out with other people and we wrote slogans against the dictatorship....it was a very extreme situation, on the edge of being imprisoned if you didn't manage to escape if, just while we were scratching the walls, the police and/or the military appeared.........at that time I ran, ran, ran..... always escaping from the "forces of dictatorial order"... there was a phrase that I learned the first time I saw it.....it was a phrase that I loved to write on the walls of houses, buildings, etc.... a phrase that was said in Mexico, at the University of Guadalajara and that spread to many universities, being written, once, in France, at the Sorbonne University ........<to be young and not to be revolutionary...it's even a biological contradiction!!!!>

..,...since those times I began to pick up brushes and paints more often...and a process of trying to express thoughts and feelings with images began...my self-taught painting studies have advanced along with the pace of turtles...hahaha...the room where I slept in my mom's house was the site of the first attempts to capture ideas in images...they are still on the walls, somewhat worn by the passage of time...but visible...... I'll send you some photos.....and you'll realize that, from the age of 30 to 60, I've remained around the age of 10 to 12.......hahahaha......paintings typical of that age...or the cave art of Lascaux, by Neanderthal man, in France.....hahahahaha.....

And, all this preamble to tell you that I really want to draw and paint...and, first I'll do it with white, black, and grays with graphite pencil, and with watercolors...later, maybe yes or maybe not... I'll get to acrylics, oils, and canvas painting...who knows?!?!....tomorrow never knows........for now, I'll honor my Neanderthal status, and it will be cave art...hahaha...

....you can be sure that in some time.....you will see yourself immortalized on paper in a distant South American country...obviously, you will be the first to see it...then I'll send it to you by FedEx and you can take it to the bonfire...hahahahaha...lol!!!
