Your paintings reminded me so strongly of a picture of me taken when I was about 14 (and trust me, that decade has long since passed!), sitting on the pier near our home, painting. I just may have to edit my post to add it. :-)<br />Thanks for the memory!LoriFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884816850378635735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-51189651607922412332013-01-26T15:23:33.763-05:002013-01-26T15:23:33.763-05:00These are both wonderful.
