Your "Going Paperless" class sounds useful. Will you continue to keep it up for a while? (Especially since you may generate some more interest with your newsletter.)

Oh yes, I think it'll stay up.

Thanks for another interesting and delightful column! I especially wanted to thank you for recommending Portrait Artist and Landscape Artist of the Year. Those shows got me through my bout of Covid. They were thoroughly enjoyable and didn't demand too much of my foggy brain. Who'd have thought watching other people paint could be so fascinating?! Thanks again.

Landscape Artist of the Year is also fabulous. So sorry you were sick!

Why Amsterdam? Looking at your fair hair I wondered if you have family there….but can’t wait to see your ‘in real life’ impressions! Enjoy!

No Dutch heritage on my side--we're here because some friends are spending the month here & they invited us. Just nice to hang out with friends in a beautiful city!

Happy travels to you, Amy! Just wondering if you have any idea when your next Kopp sisters book will be out?

No new Kopp novel coming, I'm sorry to say...but I am working on a new book, and you can read all about it here!

Love the color blocking - the finished sketch looks like a vintage slightly out of register serigraph! Happy travels in Amsterdam -- color me envious

yes, I like that out of register look! Figuring how to layer on the colors so they have that seriograph vibe is the thing I'm still trying to figure out.

You’re the best. Your newsletters make me lol, which is a goal all newsletter writers should have, in my opinion. I’ve enjoyed watching you experiment on Instagram and look forward to Amsterdam!

The Locked Room was good.

Just finished Hell of A Book by Jason Mott. It won Natl Book Award-Fiction last summer. It challenges your imagination.

Your newsletters make me laugh. Thank you for that. i especially loved the least successful class piece. btw, i watched the video just now on You Tube and there was another audio over yours so couldn't understand you or hear you. i turned on close captioned...and perhaps it's only happening on my computer...but it was for the entire vid.

That's so strange--it's not happening when I play it. Sorry about that!
