Dear Mike,

On what cable network can the Van Wyk shows be seen? I agree that Helen could definitely paint. I would be very interested in seeing these shows. Not since Bob ("Happy Tree") Ross put in regular appearances on our local PBS affiliate, have I seen a painting instruction show. I understand that there's a watercolorist - Alwyn Crenshaw, or something - who also paints regularly for PBS audiences. Here, there seems to be a discouraging apathy when it comes to art. *Sigh*

By the way, I use to live in Tulsa more than sixteen years ago, very near the Eastland Mall. Is that still there? My daughter was born at Hillcrest Medical Center. I kinda miss good ole' Tulsa!

Cheers,
Valerie
