Term Three, at Hazelhurst, with Melissa.


How quickly time passes! Has that been stated before? Next Tuesday the last Art Class, in Term 2. I have re-enrolled again. No. That's not tautology. I HAVE re-enrolled in Melissa's class before.
She has her lessons fit her students and, in my case, I mainly listen in but absolutely do my own thing.
I get oil paintings ready, at home and then, once Melissa has got everybody working and she wanders around, advising, she does just that for me.
I don't claim to be advanced but I HAVE been interested in art, since the late 50s, coming close to becoming an art teacher, in the early 70s.
I just want the right kind of advice. I don't want to be 'set' things to do.
As I've written elsewhere, I appreciate the way Melissa just advises, chats, praises, encourages etc., creating a relaxed atmosphere.
