    Thank you for all these beautiful videos your family is special and sharing your struggles let’s us know you are brave and determined. I paint with you and my heart lifts higher and the fact that I must look at something so intensely is a learning experience and relaxing. I try to draw a bit of what I see while traveling and I find I look at the Churches, statues, museums and historical sights through a new lens!
