Richard, what a wonderful thing to do. I hope you post some of your drawings here!
Ngaire, I am so impressed by your dedication to your art and your will to succeed at this. Please keep us posted as to how it's coming along.
One never knows the extent one's actions influence others down the road. I just think it is so important to get visual artists into the public consciousness. I recently did a 2-hour portrait demonstration at a "family day" at an art museum here. At one point I backed up and nearly stepped on several of the children sitting on the floor using crayons to sketch on their drawing pads along with me. (There must have been twenty of them.) Many of them told me they wanted to be artists, too, so I gave them all a pep talk.
