Hey,


Just passing by to have another look. Congrats on your piece in the show. I'll look up the website. My stepson, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter live in Hawthorn. Is that near you? I think not, but not sure.


SMILE,


Lisabeth

What a beautiful tribute to the PALACE!! I think that soon there will be nothing but condos everywhere you turn, how sad. Did you get to watch as they removed the ferris wheel? So, are you going to check out Ms. Ani Difranco when she visits your town? Ive seen her once in concert, great time! Take care.

A charter boat business, be it a 6 pack or

a larger charter vessel is very hard work. I

tried it once and just never was  able to get

along that well with the passengers. I liked

commercial fishing a lot better.

 

I look forward to seeing your seascapes some

time in the future. Let me know if you post any

new ones.

Hi--love your home page and your passion...I too was a HS teacher...do it as long as you can, my friend, and remember: YOU ARE PAYING IT FORWARD.  Your art will be fine. I worked for 30 years and just "retired" to do art at age 59 ...it's worth it...just keep doing what you're doing...love your attitude...remember: PROCRASTINATING IS SIMPLY a kind of creative foreplay even though it seems like stalling!  PS which Rothko bio are you reading? --Jane

I like the mood evoking quality of your work.  Looks like you are on the right path.  Your work made me think about Hopper and now I see he's one of your favorites, me too.
