JOAN WELLS...
Joan mostly learned by reading, sketching and collecting books on different artist books - she has many!    "As far as I can remember, my 1st joy was pencil and paper and then colors. I have been into many artistic endeavors such as ceramics, china painting and kiln firing but when I found water colors they became what I loved most, this began at a Senior center. I hope to expand my interest in painting flowers to possibly portraits and architecture painting. and at 85 yrs old I had better hurry."
