Rebecca Taylor Askew (Painting)
aulander, North Carolina
 
Artist since I was six….
Our dining room always had my Aunts easel (which was a chair) set up
with a painting in process. I have sat there and matched colors and
painted on her picture (thinking she would not notice!!) only to learn
that two of my other sisters were doing the same thing. We are still
matching colors only now creating our own world with our art.
I was called outside to see flowers, wonderful sunsets and even the
northern lights making me aware of my surroundings. My aunt taught me
to not only look but to see.
I do not remember exactly when I started drawing – it just seems it was
always there.. Painting and Art Shows have been some of the happiest
times of my life. I enjoy art shows and the competition that it
brings. I am not as young now, but am still blessed with good eye
sight and a yearning to continue my work.
