		<description>Hello, Henry!

    I&#039;m very sorry and disappointed that your message did not get forwarded to me automatically!  This is a relatively new server for my website, and my old one did send out messages directly to my email.  But,  I&#039;m delighted that you enjoyed my work!  Unfortunately, I&#039;ve pretty much retired from teachiing on a regular basis: since we do travel so much it&#039;s almost impossible to have classes at regular intervals.  However, if you&#039;re in Ithaca, and still interested, I could arrange for a lesson or two to give you the basics. 
   When I teach, my goal is to give my students the means to fulfill their own personal objectives.  I provide information about, demonstrate, and show paintings that exemplify various pastel techniques; discuss and show the different tpes of pastels and papers and their influence on the finished painting; and provide students with demonstrations, assistance  and support.  
   Since this would be a private lesson,  my fee would be $50 for each one-hour lesson which would include not just explanations and demonstrations, but time for you to actually work with the pastels.  
    I truly regret the great lapse between the kind message you wrote and my finding it.  I hope you&#039;ve been well, and have enjoyed the intervening months!
