Hooked on an old drawing

Sixteen years ago weary after painting all day for a show, I drew this 
drawing of my friend Flora Doehler.  Flora is the person who urged
me to do a blog.  My son Christopher actually started it for me.
So Flora transformed my life, and continues to inspire me with
 her beautiful art.

Her push for change in my life sent me all over the world, to New York,
to Florence, to Paris and the Louvre, and to Oprah Winfrey's show
drawing her live via Skype.

Meanwhile Flora moved to a small maritime town, and almost lives
in retreat compared to life in the big city.  And she continues to
make and sell beautiful art, and to teach me things about technology
and painting.

Have a loving your life day.
