Sorry to hear that Alan. I hope I can keep up with the watching and get some practise in with that Chinese brush when these 'non art' goals get done (hopefully only another week)

I did have reason to view some of my older work (referring to a later post than above) but only on the way to clearing the clutter before they landed in that round bin 13 May you post many many more. I do enjoy calling in and viewing each day.

I agree. Surprising how the simplicity attracts our attention. Very well done.

Hello to all Alan's friends

I heard today from Alan's daughter Sandra that Alan has had to go into hospital, and I am sure you will join me in wishing him a speedy recovery

I am sorry to hear that. He did not seem himself this past few days. I hope he gets well soon. He must take things easy.
Best wishes Alan.
