Today we actually have springlike weather. There's hope for you too. Yes, it was fulfilling to be able to blot out that horrible drawing with gesso. If only real life mistakes had some gesso! I am reading again too, but not as much as you. My book is George Orwell's 1984, which I read about 35 years ago. I am amazed that Orwell had envisioned the security cameras so far in advance. It's a bit dreary, and a bit disconcerting.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599392401894076133.post-70689815053403433122013-04-02T11:57:09.240+01:002013-04-02T11:57:09.240+01:00Sounds really interesting!

However, I don't see where these people find time to write, since "Publish or Perish" is one of their mantras. <br /><br />I enjoyed the art, mainly because I can't draw, sketch, or paint a face. It was truly impressive and you portrayed the words well.
