“Yellow Hammer” by: Johnel 

So much on my mind these days. My health is always on my mind (one of my favorite Willie Nelson songs).  RA causes so many shitty things to happen to your body; it’s like an unwanted surprise every day.

In the last year I have found a new friend that transports me from the RA War to a designated safe, happy place.  Feel like I have new friends from all over the world who enjoy art as much as I. There are some fabulous artists who share their knowledge free of charge on UTube and for that I am tremendously grateful.

Check our some of these wonderful channels and learn to draw, paint and escape to a world of extreme joy:

Karen Campbell (must say she can teach anyone to draw a face and gives her all to her UTube followers. Karen is one of the few who now has a Patreon following but did not leave the followers on UTube by the wayside.   Thank you.). (Before I get comments about me dissing Patreon, I have nothing against it, artists need to make money.  I’m just saying, remember your UTube followers because that’s how you became popular in the first place. So throw a few instructional videos our way just for old times’ sake!)
Dina Wakley (her videos on drawing faces were the first ones I watched. She makes you want to try!)

Last lesson from #100funfabfaces by Karen Campbell:   Totally free class every Friday morning.  Karen is a wonderful teacher who shares her talent unselfishly while taking care of a household and husband and her boys.  Cudos to her!
