Pat, if you can afford the upgrade, you really should do it. You're gonna regret it. Like Kim said, there will be worse and there will be better, but everyone will be there to learn.

I've only done five oil paintings, but it has'nt stopped me from posting them. They stink, but I'm not going to learn anything by hiding them. And if someone is laughing at them, oh well, I'll eventually get better.

You're letting a great opportunity pass you by. And if you don't take the full class, I won't be your friend anymore. Just kidding, my daughter's going through that stage right now.

I wish I could take Marvin's workshop, but I can't afford to take a week off work just for me. Maybe when my wife finishes nursing school and is working again, I'll be able to. I still have'nt hit the lottery, it might help my chances if I played. Hmmmm..... So Marvin, put me in for a 2006 or 2007 (whenever my wife graduates) Manhatten workshop.

JUST DO IT!
