Thanks for the welcome Mike. I am glad to see I am not alone in this obsessive nature. See, we are different, but in a good way.

Michele, speaking of not wanting to hang at the beach; we have a pool and 3 children. The youngest needs supervision and so I will set up an easel out there and try to paint when they guilt me into it and I've been at the studio a lot. I have a very interesting abstract that occurred from my oldest one's impressive belly flop.

Thank you again Tim.

I have to say - I am really glad to be here. Other artists, all different levels, so much information, not to mention encouragement. It is a very, very good thing.
