Visual Description: An MMA (Mixed Medium Arrangement) scene.
HLCIL = CHILL, MSIKR = SMIRK, ARATMU = TRAUMA, VRSYOA = SAVORY — Giving us: HLSMRTAAAR
Clue/Question: When the lawman took a painting class, he created . . .
Answer: “MARSHAL“ ART
(Nice pun! I had fun with both “smirk” and “trauma”. “Chill” was pretty easy, but it could be a new word. And, I know we’ve seen “savory” numerous times. Initially, I didn’t even notice that the instructor was dressed as a sensei. I don’t think it was really necessary in getting the answer, so I’ll consider this a bonus clue. The clue words and the answer letters were all scrambled with foresight. That’s about it, kids. Any questions? Then all of you, go out in the world and do good. And of course, be well.) — YUR
PS. I still prefer the individual contests/sports over this hodgepodge of disciplines. — YUR
I looked at everything in the puzzle and did notice the sensei outfit, but it did me no good until the end. TRAUMA took me 25 tries of different combos! I bought the JUMBLE GETAWAY book for my plane ride to Aruba so that I don’t get bored or too scared. I’ll report after my trip, since I probably won’t be doing daily ones.
Enjoy your trip, dear lady!

Enjoy the Jumble Getaway. It’s the first book that actually has my puzzles in it. Numbers 96-160. Of course the publisher forgot to put my name on it. Oh well as long as I get paid.
NEYOJ!
