Hi everyone, and sorry to be the bearer of bad news:
Judy Filarecki has passed away.
She was driving from her summer residence in New York state to her winter home in Arizona, and encountered health issues. According to Judy's Facebook posts on Oct 9th, she stopped in at hospitals in NY and Missouri along the way for treatment and rest, but encountered more health problems as she continued her journey. Apparently she passed on Oct 11 in Texas.
I will certainly miss Judy, she was a big part of this Forum. She gave me encouragement and offered constructive suggestions on how to improve my paintings. Sadly, I did not get to meet her in person before her untlmely passing. RIP Judy
