Ditto, Janel!
I did take out a loan to study with Marvin and I consider it the best investment I can make in my future as an artists. Heck, I figured that if I could take out student loans to getmy undergraduate degree, it made more sense to take out a loan for Marvin's workshop!!
I am 50, I only have so many years to paint and I want the greatest learning curve I can attain - I get that with Marvin. Molly I can't wait to hear your reports after you start studying with Marvin in New York - I'm very excited for you.
And Janel, I am going to the art museum tonight for my regular visit, but I am calling the museum today to see about painting there - you inspire me!!!
