"what will you do now? do you feel any promptings to create in other venues, or just sit and watch the old world melt :-)."

That's the million-dollar question. I have a few ideas... one is to open up an art studio for adults with 3-4 hour long sessions. They can set up their own stations (oils, easels, still lifes) and keep them there.

There's nothing like it here, but I studied with David Zuccharini in Maryland in this kind of setting and really got a lot out of it.

That would be bumping it up to the next level (teacher).
