Gee. I had to have a peek. Matt, you keep us running. I am “retired” yet can’t get to your bajillion courses. This looks fantastic!
Sorry I had a crazy year. Mini stroke in February lost eyesight in my right eye. Carotid surgery was healing nicely and the middle of May broke out was shingles lasted for about eight weeks. Hopefully get back into your wonderful art classes soon.
