I am Lorraine Dorman (MeMaw), 85 years old, and think of myself as a late 'bloomer'.

For years, there were three things that I always wanted to do: teach, paint, and write.

At age 46 I became a full time college student and earned my AA degree in Early Childhood Education and went on to teach for 15 years.

As for painting, I just dabbled along until my husband encouraged me to become serious about my painting.

I've done many paintings for my family, but now I have decided to make copies of my original paintings and sell them.

I also write cook books for my grandchildren, poetry, and essays. My 85 years in West Virginia and Florida have given me many things to write about.

"Thank you, Jesus."

Old Woody







My grandson asked me to paint a picture of an 'old woody' with a beach scene background; which I did.
When I look at this painting, I am reminded of the many times my husband and I went to Jax beach when we were dating in 1941-’42. we would swim, picnic, and sometimes just sit in his old car and talk and watch the ocean breaking on the beach. I think of these times as being slower and more relaxed. I really don’t like this super-charged electronic age we now live in. It’s moving too fast with no time for making lasting memories.
If you like the beach, the sound of the ocean, and the smell of the salty air and need some time to dream and make memories, hang this painting in your home and trip back to yesteryear.
I think of a fond memory as a pearl added to a necklace.
