As I get older my husband asks me why I don't give up painting, but I can't. If I'm not in the hospital, I'm here. It just means a lot to me.

A lot of people wanted to come who weren't old enough, so I decided to open the class up to anyone.

The ladies are busy working all year and this is their chance to show what they've been doing. There's no expectation of selling a lot, but a lot of people don't know what all we do down here and this is our chance to show them.

They allow us to use this room all year and then they allow us to display our works upstairs for the show.
