so..... I'm a little behind here since The Lenster ruptured the anterior tibialis on his left foot.
NO..he didn't do it on the motorcycle !!!
he had surgery this past Wednesday and is in a hard cast which will stay on another 3 weeks or so and then he'll be in one of those boot contraptions for another month or so. No weight bearing on that foot for a l-o-n-g time.
He's mastering crutches & a scoot-around wheelchair !!!
He's a terrific patient....seriously...he's a joy!
****************
what I wanted to share wth you involves a fabulous artist I met at ART Is....You this past weekend in CT.
PAM CARRIKER
Pam is a mixed media artist and I caught a glimpse of her teaching this most remarkable class. I HAD to stop to see what she was doing.
Even if you've NEVER drawn a face before she had the students in this class drawing the most FABULOUS faces imaginable. This is Margarida from Portugal....you'll remember her as the terrific lady who just sponsored the Art Paradise class I took with Michael deMeng.
I couldn't get over it !
Pam has written a wonderful book. I had the pleasure of reading it and I am telling you to rush right out and get yourself one. It's very inspiring and it really motivates you.
ART AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT $22.95 U.S.
Here are a few highlights
Pam really shows you how easy it is to make art every day...personal art...with everyday materials and great tips from lots of interesting artists and people you admire.
Next time I see that Pam is giving a class somewhere I am signing right up!
Thanks again to Sallianne & Ellen (l & R) for my Art Is....You 3rd year teaching experience!

Poor Lenster - missed your blog postings as I've been away myself. Hope his foot heals nicely (and quickly too). Your mixed media pal's work looks fabulous
