Ed, I don't understand. Why would your age and experience disqualify you from being a serious student? Anyone, of any age, can be a serious student. There are also many artists who went to art school, had careers in computer graphics or illustration or other art related fields, then decided to become fine artists later in life. These are highly skilled and experienced individuals who are still open to learning. Or maybe I have misunderstood you.
