More Stuff Heatherpink made me think of

35. At eight I was told by an art teacher that my painting of autumn leaves was wrong because I included blue in my color choices.
36. My high school art teacher told me to change a color in an acrylic painting I was working on.
37. The old art teacher became ill and had to retire. I was painting and I asked my new instructor which color I should use. He informed me that color was a personal choice and that he could in no way make that decision for me.
38 That was a life changing event for me.
