I try to learn drawing and painting

Artwork by Feza Ozturk

I am a retired academic in science. Since my childhood, I envied people who can draw and paint to bring out their inner worlds. I had no natural talent at all; so every time I tried to copy somebody else’s drawing, it a was disastrous experience.
