Linda,

I look forward to your new category. I will admit that it takes a great deal to get me interested in the technical aspects of painting.

I'm afraid that I do paint mostly sitting down. Now I'm going to get massive points taken away. However, I rarely paint in my robe anymore, so give the points back.

I'm going to try and paint standing up with my palette in my left hand. Since I now paint in public, I may have to forgo the swaying and dancing. By the way, if I hear Liberace play "I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you" one more time over the PA system I'm going to spit.
