Featured image above is of what my old Latin teacher used to call, “a quondam friend”…sad to say, yes, this friend was much loved but seems now to be “former”!
This one (above) was inspired by Kirsten P. With her winter hat on, and fingering a device.
Inspired by Rachel B., who was drawing me even as I drew her!

So glad that you are doing the art work Pam. I just started an art blog yesterday, but I can’t commit to posting daily yet. But I did paint today! My goal is to do some kind of art daily. So I encourage you to keep going and never give up. Me, too!
