My answers:
1: Did you ever do "finger painting?" As a first grade student in Phoenix Arizona in about 1965, on manila file folders. It must have made an impression for me to remember that decades later.
2: If you drew a picture of me, would I recognize myself in the image? No.
3: Have you ever exhibited art that you created? Back in the 1970s.
4: Should a person continue to paint, even if they are not very good at it? As long as they enjoy doing it, yes.
5: How many shades of green are there around you? I am reminded of the astronomer Carl Sagan, billions and billions and billions.

4. Sure. If it's fun and you aren't hurting anyone, why not?
5. Well, if there's fifty shades of gray then there has to be a heck of a lot more shades of green. Only the darker, and jewel toned shades register with me though.
