The last Tuesday

School is finished at the end of this week. Next
week is exam week, then I don't teach again until
the fall. Tuesday has been my toughest day all
semester, because I teach all day, and then
go to my art group at night. But I will really
miss the energy charge I get on these days.

I am exhausted and revved up at the same time.
The course that I've been teaching this year, is
all about ideas. I really enjoy being around
young people, and watching the innovative ways
that they come up with to handle the course
projects.

I am tired, and didn't go to work with my
art group. My marking mania has to continue
until Friday. So if I don't respond to your
posts as quickly as I'd like to, it isn't because
I don't care.



sketch from the newspaper
black marker on bond paper
5 x 7 inches

Tonight I'm posting a sketch I did awhile ago
of a face that appeared on the front cover of
the newspaper -- The Globe and Mail. I'm
sorry I don't know the identity of the man,
but I think he was a medical researcher.
I was attracted to his serious expression.

Have a knowing-you're-in-the-right-place day
