We are all missing people we love and are unable to get close to. So this challenge is to paint/draw a picture of the person family or friend, who you want to Hug as soon as it is allowed. (This should be someone it is not permitted to hug or cuddle now.) The picture can be in any medium and when completed should be photographed and sent to me I look forward to seeing who you are really hoping to hug or cuddle. I know who I will paint/draw, and hug as soon as allowed. Lesley
