I want to apologize for my long absence.  I have moved my residence, and just after getting all my stuff into the house, and prior to unpacking, my mother got very ill.  She was put on hospice, and I spent as much time with her as I physically could.  I only left to sleep and occassionally to eat, as the nursing home provided me with most meals.  It was a blessedly quick process for her.  It was also a peaceful process thanks to the wonderful people at Bridge Hospice, in Ohio.  I will be needing my art to help heal my mind after this process, and I will be back to creating by next week. Kind regards.
