I left school at 15 so never took any exams until I went back to studying aged around 40. For my English GSCE coursework I had to write a poem about Silence, and thought 'Yes! I'll write about Exmoor!' But it turned out to be nothing about Exmoor but about lonely old age and was so distressing I never wrote another one! The teacher used it as an example of a 'natural author', and my sister who writes songs and poetry loved it, but I couldn't believe someone so dark and sad came form me! (Got an A* for the exam though)

Well come on, now you've got to tell us about them.My talent is to be totally talentless in every wayI come from generations of very talented artists and musicians, some quite famous, but it seems to have bypassed me completety!
I was in the school recorder group, but couldn't read music (which was a bit of a handicap) so I used to follow the fingering of whoever I was next to. The teacher obviously sussed me out and that was the end of my musical career.Oh good grief! My son played electric guitar, mainly Hendrix and Clapton, so that wasn't too hard on the ears! lol!
I was in the school recorder group and choir, can't say it was a particular talent though. Although actually the reorder thing was good, I could never read music no matter how hard I tried, but the teacher never realised! I'd bluff my way though while listening to everyone else then was able to play by ear, so I suppose that was a minor talent!
They are super drawings, very life like. We have an Arts Trail around the village each May and you can walk around to the various artists houses and see the work they do and the local shops "sponsor" an artist and show some of their work in their windows.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.The first that we know of was William Mulready http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mulready and some of his work http://tinyurl.com/odxdshf
His sons were quite famous too. No paintings passed down through the family unfortunately, most are in Victoria and Albert Museum or the Queen's collection
Also lots of not-famous artists, musicians and writers ever since then, with a few exceptions
And a cousin is a songwriter, wrote some for Daniel O'Donnell but I don't brag about that!
Thank you all for your lovely comments about my drawings. I really wasn't expecting all your kind words. I love to doodle with pencils, and it takes my mind of the worries of daily life.
I am so pleased you liked what you saw on my fledgling site.

thanksThat's actually very cute, Spencer67. I like it.
"play the spoons and bust a good jews harp"
Gosh I haven't heard anyone playing the spoons in years,
same goes for the harp.
Good on you, and you got me interested enough to do some Googling.
I'd forgotten how good they could be to listen to.
Respect to you.
Cheers.
