Most kids have finished their elf portraits. This is the hardest and best bunch of lessons all year. Now on to more fun stuff.
\nMark your calendars for the 9th Annual Student Exhibit & Auction, opening May 19, 5-7:00. We’re benefiting Black Feather Horse Rescue. Check my previous email for all of the details. And if you can’t make it to the opening, the show will be up for a few weeks. Let me know if you’re in ASAP.
\nNOTE: I’m off to help out with my grandkids April 12-19, so no classes during that time and April vacation week. Any account balances will be carried over to week of April 24.<\/p>\n
