January, 2026
This month I experimented a bit with impressionism and becoming more expressive in my style, because of a visit to the Monet exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum and because of coursework at the Art Guild on Long Island. I also received two thank yous for my pet paintings, gifted to Cousin Emily and friend Charlene.
