Skip, I guess we are "friends" now.  Thanks for speaking out on the war and the conservative agenda with your art.  As much as I have opposed the war, I don't blame the soldiers.  They are pawns in the power broker's plans, yet their lives and the lives of their families have been so tragically changed forever, either with their death, or their injury, mental or physical.  Art that speaks to this pain and injury is important.  Thanks.

 

I see you are from Nortyh Carolina.  I paint with a group of women who are considering a visit to North Caolina, (possibly next year)to live and paint.  A friend's family owns a house on the outter banks somewhere.  We're all plein airpainters, and a photographer, and we hear it is very beautiful there.  If I make it there I'll let you know.  Kathy O
