    Does your group need a horse??? :)
    I always love your drawings, Susan, and Jim's portrait is wonderful. What a strong, interesting face.

      I would not have been surprised to find a horse in the studio this morning! We have certainly had a variety of critters (including humans) to draw!

      I am reading a biography of Degas - what a fascinating fellow - and one of my absolute favorite artists! Thank you, Shirley.

    No. The heat plus plenty of curiosity. Lovely drawing of Jim. Articulate style.
