The painting is amazing, great work! Ugh, sorry about the cold - I caught something and it took a good two weeks to get over.

Looks like you had a great reading week with lots of good stuff to come, enjoy!

My list!

Thanks, re the painting. It seems that everyone in my circle of friends is sick — even ones out of state. Ugh.

I'm sorry you're sick. I hope you get well soon. I really like your hummingbird painting. I have a friend who paints birds, oysters, and hens on Bible pages and newspaper ones as well.

Oysters, that's an interesting subject. I don't think I've ever painted an oyster. I do have a hen photo that I'm planning to turn into a painting soon. Right now, though, I'm working on a burrowing owl.
