Joan - your artist friends look a lot happier with their finished pieces than they did making them when they all looked so intent. The ‘people watching’ comment made me laugh. You captured them well. The steeple painting looks very impressionistic. Jade - Two pretty creations for a thank you...

Ai - The colors on eggplant and pepper are great but I keep looking at the shape and shading on the mortar. Walkie talkies are cute and well done. Super work on the bottles! 👍🏽 Joan - The super sized Tic Tac is terrific. Great idea. Love the Tuna! Also noted how intense everyone looks. They...

Joan - The detail you capture in wc blows me away. Seeing this coffee shop sketch I started thinking one of the reasons I never pursued wc was most of the wc work I had seen was pale colors and little detail. Thank you, Joe. - Your clouds all made me smile. Nice pen work on the apple and pear...

Ai - love the urban skyline. Pine apples are terrific. Use to grow them in my garden. But animals ended up getting more than us. Still have the plants but pot bound do to lack of care and do not bloom. Joan - Time is why I shifted back to graphite and trying to learn wc. But now there area a...

Pine Cone - Thank God. Will send prayers of thanks for those who helped you in your time of need. Robin - 😎 Love the stack. The plus side is they are clean. My kitchen stack is usually the other side of the sink. Joan - Empathy with the back. I have had sporadic back problems for about 50...

Thanks to all for comfy vibes, I am with Jo just the drill noises get to me. Novocaine does not block them. Seems a bit wimpy hearing situation Pine Cone is in. Thanks to all for nice words on the bear. Fletch

Pine Cone, you are in my prayers and sending strong positive energy too. Fletch
