I usually get one or two very nice responses from V. Notes readers, but after the last couple of posts I’ve been receiving quite a few letters. (Thank you!) This one from Margaret, “a devoted reader” was my favorite. Other than the generous cultural love fest between us, it’s great to know we have devoted readers in exotic places such as Kelowna BC!
Hi Ruthie,
I live in Kelowna BC. I am a retired high school art teacher/wanna be artist from Vancouver. I got connected with your blog through an Oregon artist Randall David Tipton.
I just want to thank you for your newsletters. You are articulate, intelligent, talented, generous, and fun! I look forward to each and every of your emails and find them thoughtful and inspirational. I so miss going to Seattle for the weekend for a cultural fix and to gather ideas for lesson plans for my students.
You are my cultural fix now and I absolutely love you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous, intelligent contribution to the (mostly) cultural wasteland that is the internet.
A devoted reader,
Margaret

Tomorrow, we start Day 1 of the 30 day challenge. You can tell how much I’ve been preparing by counting the open tabs on my browser. (There are 47 open tabs on my browser). Are you ready to launch 2020?

Charity Baker is a recent graduate from the New …
One year ago in March, to protect our students and teachers from a new coronavirus, the Seattle Artist League moved our classes online.

Today’s WORD Challenge: Coptic. Media is artist’s choice. Coptic art includes any of the murals, textiles, illuminated manuscripts, relief sculpture, and metalwork associated with the Greek and Egyptian speaking Christian peoples of Egypt from about the 3rd to the 12th century AD. Coptic icons depict beautiful religious narratives, and do not reach to portray realism, depth, naturalistic …
