The good news is that Andrea has said it's finally time for me to move on from drawing to painting. The bad news is that the classes have taken a big jump in cost. Any help with moving forward would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.

The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before.

The world holds us to be fools; let us hold it to be mad.

"Nation-wise, we're in a pickle."
