Nice coincidence! I very much like that style from Ring.
Yes, my son's absence is a fore taste for times when he'll leave the house. Thankfully, there is still some time left for me to be with him :) But I must admit, I do really enjoy to feel free from my motherly tasks.

You are a fantastic motivator and encourage me ever so often to go on with art. Thank you! I see how much it gives you as well to be creative and playful with the time on your hand.
