It is reaching completion and will soon; become a maintenance commitment adding any new breeds accepted by the AKC on an annual basis. I remain committed to \u201cthe Gallery originals will never be sold\u201d however they will soon be made available for licensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My exhibits at the library led me to an invitation to share my pencil art skills with a group of teens. To get ready I wrote an outline curriculum; put together a kit of, papers, artist pencils, and a frame with mat, practice sheets, eraser and art history materials. I wanted each 2 hour session to build one on the other, just like I sketch, layer over layer, pulling the image out of the paper. At our last session  some  of the participants joined in an art show of their work; where we talked about their sketches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part everyone enjoyed and for me it was the beginning of a whole new level of enjoyment. I\u2019 m looking forward to next year its classes and some new opportunities with teens and adults.
