Thank you all so much

slleipnir, no, I haven`t done any for a very long time.

I began drawing and painting at a, how can I describe it, lets just say a painful time in my life - my husband died, had to sell my home, money ran out - and it helped me so much. None of it comes easy or swiftly to me, it took/takes work and concentration, many a time I sat up well into the early hours to finish a piece. Anyway, I got work and somehow the painting and stuff tapered off. Later when I "retired" I did start again, at least did a few, but then I was called upon to take care of my youngest grandaughter during the day for 5 or so years, and that took up a lot of my time and concentration. No excuse for the last couple of years, though it is true that my eyesight has worsened and new eyeglasses are extremely expensive!

But you guys have re-awakened my interest and given me new heart, so we`ll see.

Thanks again

love Chris
