I might, once I find where the Sage has squirrelled it.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think you'd think less of me though, I just feel it isn't anything to display too proudly!

I showed it to the Sage and I think that he has squirreled it away, like a proud parent. Isn't that sweet?

It was amusing afterward, but a little scary at the time. Which reminds me, might find out if he's still teaching there...

I can just see you.<BR/><BR/>I had an unfortunate experience at school with a scary art teacher and I don't think I ever went to a lesson after I was 12, to our mutual relief. Funnily enough, the sort of chucking paint around daubs she wanted me to do (when I wanted to draw precisely) is the sort of thing that I might enjoy now.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-77772540044861705432008-01-03T07:42:00.000+00:002008-01-03T07:42:00.000+00:00I find painting very relaxing.
