Did another little painting on masonite cut to fit a frame I got from Brooke at U&I for the sale of a painting. She traded me several little frames and it is so fun to do a small painting. It is sort of like meditating. You can't be thinking of anything else when painting and with the goings on in NYC, Indiana and other state's schools it is hard to not be thinking of that. Michael Cardew, an Eton phylosophy graduate, would said "They are killing creativity so they can measure it's corps." I think he was talking about IB though. I quit being an IB examiner last August so I guess I can say that stuff now. Pat Fleming
