As I near the end of my seventies, I find quite a few more fish are escaping with the water! As always, love the painting. We like the same things and you are introducing me to artists I had not discovered. Thanks. I started yesterday writing about some of my many happy memories to balance the more serious things I have been dealing with right now by writing about them. Our Winnie the Pooh Hundred Acre Wood kept me surrounded by beauty and wildlife adventures for 27 years. And that kept me sane (more or less) through my mother’s 14 years of Alzheimer’s. Nature, art, music and books are grace filled treasure troves for me. Thank you for all you share with us.
