I am enjoying spending more time at my easle painting. The lessons have been most helpfull. I have to give them up for a short while because life has become too busy - away when the lessons are scheduled, and it looks like I will have to have a little surgery soon. If you view Secher's blog (one of the blogs I follow) then you will be able to see how I have been keeping myself busy and some of the paintings I have created with the help of my tutor.
