Totally new to this

My friend, Frances Cavaricci has just introduced me to this, so I am just starting "blogging".
I used to work in the music industry, and for quite a few years had great fun and enjoyed myself. Including 18 months running Elton John's and Bernie Taupins publishing companies, a privilege. I have a page in She Bop, the Definitive History of Women in Rock Pop and Soul, opposite the very talented and always an excellent business woman, songwriter, Diane Warren. But for me, the business changed, or perhaps I took off the rose tinted glasses. I believe people are people and not downloads, or pieces of plastic. Songwriters, musicians and artists share their soul when they give us their music.
Now, I am doing what I really wanted to do in the first place, which is paint. And I suppose also sharing my soul.
I have chosen to learn how to use watercolours, since that is supposed to be the hardest medium. And I guess that if I can be satisfied with what I can achieve with them, I can try others.
