Thank you Professor. Working from a white sheet of paper, this took forever to get the dark blue sky and the stars just right. The stars were the hardest. There are many layers on this. That is something I have learned from you....PATIENCE.... I was always in a hurry before to get my work done....but now I see the fruits of taking it slowly and gaining much more depth in my work. Thank you again xxx TT

Hi Paula I truely think this is a fantastic pitcher and I congratulate you, I am so excited when I see a new piece by you my friend.

Hi paula im still not sleeping so I thought I would just say hello and as how you are and to let you no I found a way to pay for my critique report. Ive also got interest from abroud about my charety and setting up simmilar comunity groups with art as its common language to get them started, great news for their countrys if we suceed. All I do is offer them advice and support. If you like the shadyfish Xperiance could become a new concept of art school not just for artests but for everyone, a grand thought I no
but it is our dreams for a better tomorrow that make today bearable I think. your friend Ricky and TSX (The Shadyfish Xperiance)

captivating..i read about your dance classes.... what a wonderful thing. dancing for the deaf must be a wondrous form of expression - i know they can "feel" music (I've been told...

over 1 year

Paula Kerr

Yes...it was a very noisy class. Ha ha ha. But they loved it. It was very exhausting for me though as I had to use sign language and thump the floor to gain attention at times. They relied a lot on the vibrations from the floor. That is why I put my ghetto blaster on the floor boards...for the vibrations. But it was incredible because they were so good at keeping up with the routines in spite of the fact that it must have been very difficult for them. I've known sign language since I was little because one of my friends was deaf. It wasn't until I socialised with these deaf people later in life that I learned how difficult it was for them in our hearing world. People treat them like they are stupid because they can't talk like the so called "Normal" people. What is "Normal" anyway. It was a blessed time in my life. Thank you Carol XXX
