<\/p>\nLate hybrid school openings and the pandemic\u00a0have thrown a monkey wrench into educational operations here at the Top.\u00a0 So far only two kids have committed to after school classes, one for Tuesdays and one for Thursdays, so I’m postponing in-person classes until people get settled in to the new school situation.\u00a0 I’m posting the tentative schedule below, which includes Zoom classes that are definitely happening, but those in-person classes won’t be taking place until I have 3 or 4 (4 is max unless a tight bubble) signed up.\u00a0 I am flexible and willing to modify the schedule to best serve students and their families. So, if you have scheduling suggestions, I’m listening.<\/p>\n
Meantime,\u00a0I’ve been working on a big 3×3 foot oil painting Jim asked me to make for the kitchen. I’d forgotten just how different (and messy) working with oils is, and today I need to let it dry before I can add another layer.
\nI’m happy to report that “Holmes Run” was accepted into the Plymouth Guild’s 53rd Annual Juried Show which runs September 19 to October 25 at the Center for the Arts on North Street.<\/p>\n
