Yes, I have been painting today, but it's a secret so no, you can't see it. After all, Christmas is just a few days off.
However, as I spent a good share of the morning threatening this pile of electronics with the end of it's life, I will show you what came of that. The worst part is, all the pieces were shipped to me by the host, I just had to make them save and print correctly---it's a long story--how about you just read the results:

Wow, what wonderful accomplishments. And I especially know it's impressive because there are at least a half dozen words in that post that I have no idea what they mean.
This is a concert by Abbie? I'd love to come. January 6th? This could work. I'll check before I rsvp, though.
pedagogy has nothing to do with the piano pedals, I don't suppose.
Beautiful picture, too.
