So many inspiring works of art here, Rebecca. I'm positively cringing at your school art experience and am so relieved that the creativity within your persevered! What talent that teacher nearly wrecked, and thank the stars for M! The glass work is remarkable, but I do see more of what I believe to be YOU in the mixed media works you are creating now. It seems you've found your way to the freedom of expression you wanted all along. Thank you for sharing your journey. Oh, I signed up for the Everything Art course. Though I'm not confident I'll be able to focus on it in the way it probably deserves, I figure even if I only manage an exercise or three it will help me revive the artist in me that has been hibernating for years.

Gee, and here was I thinking that you were just a fantastic and interesting writer! Holy smokes, you are a good illustrator. I was impressed by what you did for your class.

I wish I could say that I personally got into better shape during covid. Well, probably I got more muscles in my right arm by lifting up a glass of wine.

I literally wore pjs most of the days of covid. And purchased them through companies online.

Luckily for me I have a gazebo in my backyard, so I could have people come over and sit outside. Even in the winter as long as we had blankets it wasn’t too bad. However, I sorely missed my grandchildren and I will never get those lost months back.
