<\/p>\nNo classes this week. I hope everyone is getting settled into the new way of doing school. We could add a zoom class to fit the a virtual day for kids. If you are interested in that, please tell me your preference of day\/time between 10-2:00 Tu-Th, Mondays open, and if I get enough interest, I’ll do one. I am reserving 4-5:30 Tues, Wed, and Thurs for in-person classes. See the schedule below.<\/p>\n
Sometimes things just create their own opportunities. With a studio devoid of kids I have been able to work on the big oil painting that Jim asked for for the kitchen. It’s about 50% now with many layers to go.<\/p>\n
