Artist Reply: I usually find myself stroking my mustache or my chin during the process, Ginger. So habitually that co-workers used to comment on it, back when I had co-workers. Thanks! :)

Artist Reply: Well, if you add an a to muse you get amuse and I like to think that my visual musings might at least amuse the viewer just a little. Of course, that is a hit or miss proposition, Ray. This is why I never think of the viewer at all when I'm working on anything the least bit artistic. ;) Regarding my health: 2021 hasn't been a great year. I find that I'm taking medication regularly just to keep my heart from jumping about. I've never had to take medication on a regular basis before and it's taking a bit of getting use to. But I am coping. Thanks.
