    David, I've learned more about drawing from you than I ever did in any art class I've ever taken! Your an excellent teacher who makes what appears to be very complex patterns actually quite easy to duplicate! Thank you so much!!!

    Has your fairy gotten any better? I mean, if a baby blindfolded can do this then the baby is a super human and your fairy still has a lot to learn. I enjoy your character ☺ 👏

    A ha ha! I thought he'd said "a baby could do it... Without pants on"! David, I do appreciate your tutorials as well. Have you considered doing a sort of showcase video with all your Celtic art set to music? I would like to see it- to be inspired and to seek out which project to try next.

    I voted to stay, and if those who voted to leave had realised the trouble it has caused, some of them would have voted the other way. The trouble is that two years ago, when we had the vote, no-one really knew what leave would involve.
