He may have worked as an aircraft inspector but his passion was illustration.
Oh definitely. He loved nothing more than drawing and painting, although he was also a great woodworker. He made me a couple of relatively complex wooden toys when I was a kid.
He sounds like he was incredibly talented.
He was. I wish I had an ounce of his talent.
Talent and skill are often mistaken for eachother. You still have plenty of years to be chasing passions and building skills yourself!
