Lori, I just came from Clint's article and your comment. Funny, ---your crayon misadventure. Do we all have an event like that in our past? In my tender-formative years, I read the book "Paintbox Summer", by Betty Cavanna, then promptly went upstairs to my room and painted cool stuff all over the bedroom furniture. My Mom (for some reason!)just didn't get it :)
And as to your new direction that you just wrote about: happy painting!

Later, Cooper
