The Art Treasury
My friend came over yesterday with well over $400 worth of art supplies. That’s a very conservative estimate once ya start to think of ALL that was part of the gift. My mouth fell open. I couldn’t believe it. I was stunned. My desk in the living room was covered…

Traveler
What will you see in this ethnic, surreal painting? Ah, gold poppies, red poppies, a fisherman in traditional clothing reaching to the sun, an Asian woman in a white dress with a small orange patch whose arms reach down yet they branch out as bare trees. Beside her is a…
