Goals

It has taken me almost half a year to realize that I haven't written {or thought} about my goals for this year!I find it helpful to do as the goal-setting  pundits proclaim, which is to  write my goals and visit them regularly to see where I am and to fine-tune them. So, here is first-d...

I say I am not in this school stuff for the grade. This is largely true. I am taking these art courses for what I will learn from them.   However, I am delighted to announce that I went on line and accessed my grades and I have an A          …

Well, we are almost at the end of this summer session. One more week, which is two more classes and we are through. Next Tuesday we go to the museum and discuss the picture of our choice in front of the whole group. Then we have to turn in our paper. I am about a third…

I was reading what Weesprite wrote this morning and what Anna wrote on Somekindofacircle and I feel strongly I need to write about how happy I am to be back making art.  I have not done this kind of thing {drawing and/or painting regularly} for many years and I am wondering why. It makes me&...
