I have been busy since last February taking Suzi Blu art classes.  The first one was learning to draw portraits stylized per Suzi Style.  My first endeavors were moderately successful: 
 


Fah! Getting these things to align is a pain!






Anyway, I've learned a lot, spent a fortune on art supplies, but having fun learning many new techniques.


This is my little grandaughter, Kyra, Age 5.  I got to spend a couple days with her mom, Ben & new baby, Rylan, this last weekend.  Weather was great, she got to go swimming in neighbor pool & I pushed her on the swings.  Her daddy, Ben, who is a great cook, cooked curry for dinner with fresh green beans, carrots & zucchini from their garden.  Sauce was out of this world!

Flew home to Portland, took Max train to Tanasbourne & bus to within walking distance of home-2.5 hours from airport to home.  Pugs were very happy to see me.
