Good morning. I know that you have not heard from me in a while, so I have some exciting news.

Here’s my photo and painting. What do you think? Would Georgia approve? I know I’m having fun and learning a lot. I do love knife painting!!
Ciao,
Phyllis
Recently I was asked if I paint abstracts. My quick answer was "No, but I'd like to someday". As it happens the universe gives us opportunities every day if we're listening. Two weeks ago I was trying to.........
