Eric, Thanks for your welcome. It is great meeting another Floridian. I am a great believer in humor. My son at one point was drawing cartoon along the line of the Far Side Cartoons. His were about specific sports, especially scuba diving. He is in the military and still draws just for fun. I look forward to one day reading your comics.

Jacqui, thanks for writing back. I use acrylics. I had a ceramics shop for a while. I was invited to take a painting class at the Visual and Performing Arts School I taught at. I have completed three others. I am not museum quality but I enjoy what I do. I still do ceramics and hope to teach it after school this next year. I teach remedial writing and I also teach English to speakers of other languages. (ESOL) I bring all of the arts that I do into my classroom. My ESOL students are getting ready to do soap sculpting to accompany a book we are reading about a young girl who sculpts soap into animals. They are also doing a quilted wall hanging of their country. I have just finished writing my first novel and am trying to find a publisher. I am writing my second book called "Hit and Run" a ghost story. Most of all I am taking the things I have been teaching my students for years and using it to do something that I thoroughly enjoy.
