My grandkids are very impressed and ask to take my pictures home for their refrigerators!”

"I used to watch television all day—now I just sit down and start drawing. The time passes so quickly."
Senior student

"This is just a miracle, that's what this is. Never in my life have I ever been any good at this. I remember all the way back to first grade, and no matter how I tried, my picture didn't turn out right. And now look at me! It's amazing. I can draw!"
Natalie, age 77, Baltimore, MD

"This is the most participation in art I've ever seen here." Tamika, Harmony Hall staff, Baltimore, MD

"I've always been interested in drawing, but not for real. This is really fun!"

“The last painting I did was my most enjoyable. Because of the (SeniorzArt) classes I took, I was able to peel a real apple, then look at it to draw it just the way I wanted it to look in my painting. I did the same with the crumpled napkin. Many people have told me it is my best work so far. The best part is that I was relaxed and I had fun doing it where I have often questioned my abilities in the past.”
Painter 68 (She took class with her 88 year-old mother)

“I’m taking the classes to strengthen my brain — I had a stroke recently and I want to stay sharp.”
