I used to belong to an online family of sketchers.
We belonged to a "Skool" - 
and developed good friends from everywhere internet.
We encourage each other to create better art
And
We learned enough about each other
to care
encourage
cheer
it seemed a safe, wonderful place 
to and for a lot of us.

Too bad for us, after investing So Much of ourselves
A new relationship/understanding
developed between the owner of the "Skool" and a new found significant other  . . . 
and,
We were deleted.
Some of us have surfaced on other social media -
Others were so upset -
They disappeared.

Of course,  we all wish the very best for all our friends.
It has been a very long time.
The "Skool" is completely different than it once was . . . 
-sigh-
Here's a teeny sketch I did yesterday.

it's always a better day when I sketch
