ReplyDeleteAt 9:22, I'm having a bad opinion day, with my bad hair day! I naturally have opinions, like we do, but I don't trust them at this hour. I will come back, though, and give your friend's art my complete, rested attention. I think what we bloggers have in common is this great desire to put words to images, like painters try to express within their mediums. We are a word obsessed world, and delight in others expressions as well. Thanks for visiting our little nook often. To quote Arnold: "I'll be back!"
