The year is indeed rushing along. I started piano lessons in January and have been focussing on that. It is like learning a new language. I am enjoying the lessons tremendously. It is my anti- Alzheimer's Course. At 57 I am starting to become forgetful. The piano is exercising unused brain cells. With all the practicing at the piano, I have neglected my art somewhat, only completing 3 painting so far this year. I have loaded them for hopefully some feedback. I love the Painter's On Line website. There are so many extremely gifted artists out there and their work is very inspirational. For those living in the Northern Hemisphere, enjoy your summer months. We are moving into our winter, although our days here in Johannesburg, the past 3 weeks have been warm and sunny. The nights starting to chill. Kind regards. Take care.
