I have a number of assignments this week.

Jim – I darn well better know my Cassatt from my Vermeers. I worked at an art museum for nearly 5 years!

Angela – Roger Moore did kinda look like Abraham Lincoln in that getup.

I think it looks great!<br/><br/>My cousin is one of those people who just knew how to draw, even when very young. Therefore he was encouraged to improve his skills and make the most of his talent; now he makes his living as an illustrator.

You will never look at anything the same way, specially other drawings. Preparing to draw something makes you look at things like you have never looked at them before. Way to go Robin.

I'm working myself up to doing something similar; have some books and supplies here, but really need to talk to someone with some skills to help me get motivated and encouraged. So I just might go through Cornell too (if they can 'cross border teach' without too much difficulty, of course. )<br/><br/> Well done, Robin!
