      Marilyn Blodget Beautiful Marilyn!  Loved it.  Is there a reason you picked the Koonce version?  I have the Koonce book, but have not explored it.

      Barney Thanks Barney!  I’m glad you enjoyed it. My teacher, Jason Vieaux, recommended the Koonce edition.

      Marilyn Blodget Well , Jason is certainly a reliable source; and I like the fold-out pages in the Koonce spiral bound book, haha.

      Did you study with Jason on the Artistworks platform?

       

        Thanks!
