I loved the classes I took at Art & Soul in Virginia, including from the instructors Leighanna Light, Michael DeMeng, Stephanie Rubiano and Cathy Taylor. It would be hard to pick a favorite, as they each had their own style- everyone was a delight!
Of course, it was just a wonderful experience catching up with my dear friends and playing show and tell every night with our projects of the day. Hugs and kisses to ya' all!!!!~ Lou

Thanks to all for their messages and caring thoughts for our dear friend, Karl Kelling. He is now, after 5 weeks, showing improvement! He had a massive stroke at 48 yrs. old, but now is responding by shaking head appropriately to commands. He is having trouble seeing, and moving legs, but we have high hopes of his survival now. Went to a benefit for him where 100's of people donated money, time and gifts for auction. There are wonderful people in this world, including you all! Big Hug, Lou

http://gothicarches.wordpress.com/ This great site features arches and shrine artwork. This is my contribution for Karen Owen's 'transitions'idea. I call it "The Burden" (in the bottle cap) and it is a metal sheet background with an original CDV photo that I handcolored. The rolled German text is 3D on the page. ~Lou
March is coming in like a lion here. A dear friend just had a stroke, so been driving through snow storms to Buffalo to hope for better progress. At 48 yrs. old, it was a shock to our family, of which he has always belonged. Also,my heart goes out to Joanna Pierotti on the sudden loss of her Mom.
Another note: dearest Dottie Clark, an artist from Florida, passed away this month. What a dear person she was. Am hoping for a better end to this month. Please accept my apology for not getting back to any emails this next month. ~xoxo Lou
