He never became a professional artist, even though it's what he loves. He's color-blind and couldn't go to art school back then. This is the first time more than a handful of people have seen his drawings. My sister asked him about why he draws.

I sent my dad a little pear tree and he's sending me updates of how it's doing. Who needs iPhones pictures? @professorshaw.bsky.social
