All that did was keep me from developing my real talent, which is for illustration. I finally found my niche years after school, when I was totally frustrated, and took an illustration course for the fun of it. <BR/>The best part was the many professors I had who were quite insulted by the idea that artists can be snobby.

Great post....Kate, your cat portrait is beautiful. Great post. We have a family friend who is a wine enthusiast. He's tried wines from all over the world and has an extensive wine cellar.
