I came to know about you by taking a little course from that sketching group based out of New York. I forget the name. I took an online course a few years ago sponsored by that group with you, prior to you having your own courses with Gayle. Back then, I took a black-and-white photo of my parents in my grandmother‘s rose garden in Cuba with me as a babe. It really came out beautiful. I wish I had it here to post a picture, but I’m in Florida right now and I can’t until I get back up to Michigan where I have it on my nightstand. I plan to do the same thing with other old photos eventually. That was a wonderful class!

Agreed, @Ada, you should post it so we can see!!

Ada's avatar

Will definitely do that! It won’t be till mid or late July because I’m still working down in Florida for a client. I’m an interior designer. 🙂

Loved the beautiful paintings. They struck a nerve, somehow bringing back memories of my own Mom, Aunt Helen & Gram. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. They are lovely. I got a bit emotional seeing them. The older women in my family are gone now, too.
