Now I remember

My art teacher is gone for the week.  Now I remember what it feels like to have your teacher go away for a whole week.  I left my students for surgery, 6 wks when my dad died (i was teaching in Portugal).  When my  mom died I was in Montana she was in Arizona.  And for all the conferences I had a good time at and never thought about my students.  Crap!!!!!  It's lonely.  So, I must endure.  I have to finish my acrylic - jaguar. And start the next one.  Think I will do fluffy Lizzie.  Then we start oils.  Ummmm.  I still have 6 more watercolors to do........But I'm spending the ext 6 days quilting while she has an exhibit in Japan
