The Coming of Wisdom with Time (1916)
Though leaves are many, the root is one; Through all the lying days of my youth I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.

I'm just beginning to learn how to really use colored pencils. A kind person with a lot of portrait experience helps me sometimes. One thing I noticed recently, working with her, is how very many co!ors it can take, including some you would never expect in the blues and greens, to start rendering realistic skin tones. There is too much in the color of skin to be taking anything for granted; I hope this year is the year the truth of that squarely hits America more than skin deep. |

Chocolate covered toffee, like a Heath Bar. Dark chocolate covered Orange peel, usually found only in chocolate shops. Dark chocolate roasted coffee beans. Ginger cuts!! And ginger cuts together in your mouth with a honey lemon menthol drop is like the cavalry just arrived to rescue your chest and sinuses. |

Greetings from the waters edge. I'm retired from teaching, but not from writing, reading, walking on the beach, learning what colored pencils can really do . . .
Music selection here is wonderful! I tend to the Scottish, the great ballads, the pipes, and fiddling, especially Ally Bain.
Looking forward to meeting people! |

Hello, all --
And peace in a New Year that seems to be resisting it. But peace rides on the music, or why would we have come here? Health too, to yourself and all you love, and joy of friends together watching the sun walk slowly into the northern sky again. |
