 I DID MY FIRST PAINTING WITH COLORED CHALK. I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE,MY TEACHER LET ME DRAW A SCENE OF SANTA CLAUS & HIS 8 REINDEER ACROSS THE TOP OF OUR SCHOOL-ROOM BLACKBOARD. SHE KNEW I LOVED TO DRAW. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS WAS HEAVEN FOR ME. I HAVE DONE SKETCHES & DRAWINGS SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. COLOR BOOKS NEVER LASTED LONG FOR ME. CRAYONS WERE A DELIGHT. I OFTEN PAINTED MY BICYCLE A NEW COLOR. EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL I WAS ASKED TO DO LOTS OF BULLETIN BOARDS. MY THIRST WAS NEVER QUENCHED.
I NEVER HAD ANY FORMAL TRAINING IN ART. I MARRIED, STARTED A FAMILY, & NEARLY GAVE UP ON MY ART.
GOD BLESSED ME WITH WHAT MANY SAY IS TALENT. I JUST KNOW I LOVE & APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH. I RECENTLY RETIRED & PLAN TO PURSUE MY DREAM. I HAVE HAD 4 EYE SURGERIES FOR CATARACTS & DETACHED RETINAS, & MAY POSSIBLY ANOTHER SURGERY TO REMOVE SCAR TISSUE. I HAVE MACULAR DEGENERATION, AND
FEAR I MAY LOSE MY SIGHT. I WISH TO USE MY TALENT EACH & EVERY DAY FOR AS LONG AS GOD ALLOWS ME.
ALL OF MY PAINTINGS ARE ORIGINAL WORK.
I HOPE EVERYONE THAT CLICKS THROUGH THIS ART ENJOYS IT. IF I CAN BRIGHTEN ANYONE'S DAY WITH MY PAINTINGS, I WILL BE HAPPY. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING,& CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS,THEY'RE YOURS TO FOLLOW.
SINCERELY, B.HARPER
P.S. SINCE LAST UPDATED IN OCT 2006, I HAVE HAD HEART ATTACK, OPEN HEART SURGERY {DOUBLE BYPASS),FOUND OUT I'M DIABETIC,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, & HIGH COLESTEROL, ON TOP OF EYE PROBLEMS. BUT NOTHING CAN KEEP ME FROM PAINTING, I HOPE. I LOVE IT, IT IS MY LIFE & LOVE. SO WATCH FOR MY ALMOST DAILY ADDITIONS TO MY GALLERIES. I PLAN TO BE AROUND A LONG TIME, SO I'M TAKING GREAT CARE OF MYSELF THESE DAYS.HOPE YOU WILL TOO! ENJOY MY ART, & HOPE YOU LIKE IT AS MUCH AS I ENJOY DOING IT. LET ME HAVE YOUR SUGGESTIONS & CRITIQUES.
