I've been painting since the 50's. For me it was the thing to do. At home most of my family were good at drawing. I remember when we sat around the dining room table sketching. There was no television and the radios weren't at their best, so in that sense, I consider myself lucky to have this interest.
Rose-Marie is especially excited about painting semi-abstract landscapes. She has many to choose from, mainly painting with acrylic paints on wood panel or stretched canvas in many sizes.

"I remember being at my Memere's house when I was 10 or 12. I asked her to teach me to knit, so she gave me a ball of white yarn. By the time I was done, I'm sure it was grey because of how often I had to take it apart and restart."
"I have sewn for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I had to wait for my brother to put the motor back on the sewing machine so I could finish my projects. He had the habit of using the motor on some of his Meccano inventions."
