It is great to have artists pushing limits and trying new things but I still get cravings for just a nice painterly painting.

Hi ann :)
I got your email and then a day later, everytime that I'd try to re-read it, it would be mysteriously gone. Your name would be in my inbox but your email would be missing. lol..It reminds me of some kids show I would have watched, "The case of the disappearing email"...hehe..I have a livejournal, my username is british311. I'm not finding the Cranbrook stuff though?
