Hi Carla, enjoyed seeing the cat and the following ink(?) painting. How is the new book coming? Can’t wait to see it – especially since it is all animals.
Is that right?

I’ve been teaching a drawing class at one of our branch libraries for adults and we have had a great time doing some of the exercises in Drawing Lab. Thank you so much for all your inspirational ideas.

Carla, thank you so much for the ‘Art of Silliness, 5′ class. I’m feeling a bit of grief knowing I won’t be getting your projects in my email each morning. But I’m consoling myself with the anticipation of another class in the summer! Thanks again for all the fun!

Carla, every time I see your quirky (and I mean that in the best best way) little animals and people and flowers I think – wow – what goes on in that crazy mind of yours (and I mean that too in the best way!)

Happy, happy, joy, joy, love all that you do. Thanks for sharing and inspiring the rest of us. I am at home with a sick child today and we are pulling out the sketch books, paint and markers. Lets see what we come up with…

Thank you so much for all inspiring by the Art of Silliness and sharing. I love all creations and creatures. I love to draw, but the courage to this silliness I think is that what I needed…
