It's not too late to start a hobby like painting and sketching. This is what "Lola Cons" has demonstrated. "Lola Cons" is Consolacion Coronel Maglalang, our aunt and my kids lola, who was born in 1923 and now 87 years old. 
Lola Cons with the Samson Family (Dec 2010)
She was enrolled by her daughter, Liza, in a 10-day session of art at UP last year (2010). The sessions include sketching and painting using various types of media (water color, pastel, pencil). Because of her age, she was given a discount by her instructor. After only a few sessions, "Lola Cons" showed her talent and skill in art. 
The "Lady at the Window" looks like her daughter, Liza.
"Lola Cons" works consist mostly of flowers and still life using water color and pastel. Her works are indeed extraordinary considerng her age. Some of her "master pieces" were given for free (like the one in the photo above which was given to my sister who lives in the US) and some of them were bought by friends and relatives. It's really a marvel to see Lola Cons' effortless creativity. In art, age doesn't matter. What matters is that art ages. I believe Lola Cons works will be priceless.
