Christine, I so admire your ability to maintain a robust professional art career and a fulltime teaching job at the same time! Every now and then the body does push back and remind us who's in charge...Thanks for the good wishes!
Chris, Thanks for the good wishes and hope you are enjoying your weekend! And again--that determination to paint, and show up at class after a very early morning is truly inspiring and helps keep me going.
Judy, I love the phrase "chatter in my head," because that's what it is. Thanks for the comment!
