Much love for Kay Being an amateur artist myself I am deeply moved by her encouraging everyone to paint

[@deroga5]

I'm absorbed by her as a person as well as her art. Her calm demeanor and simple, yet profound philosophical thoughts make as much of an impact as her colors and paints.

Kay WalkingStick is philosophical regarding her art. I particularly like her reference to smelling a place. My olfactory sense is always functioning optimally when I move about the physical world.
