I'm still reeling from hearing David is gone. He was such a vibrant and dynamic individual. As colourful as his paintings. And an inspiration to so many of us. While I was struggling with different app's and the idea of ai David forged ahead and was leading the group in adopting the new technologies. And he so often had a funny little quote or anecdote to share. As part of the on-line art group, run by Rachel, I know I will miss him a lot and his input to the group will be missed by all. Hugs to you Joan. I know from our visit to Kailua in 2022 how much love there has been in your lives and I wish you peace and strrength.
