Happy Birthday to my wonderful brother

It's my wonderful brother's birthday today, and I wish
I could be with him and his wife and Steven singing
Happy Birthday. We will sing for sure -- over the
phone with our dog Sally singing her favourite song --|
Happy Birthday means a treat. And she loves treats.
It would be a treat to be with Andrew and his sweet
wife Lina. We will get together soon
Here's what I said in a former post: 

"My brother Andrew and I support each other in
our artistic efforts (He's a writer, was a host on an
Ottawa talk show about art, a conceptual artist,
an excellent painter, and a photographer).
We've also worked together on numerous projects
writing and editing articles, speeches, websites.

Andrew is one of the funniest people I know.
Working with him was like all the best
working relationships because we laughed so much
no matter what we were doing.

This painting of Andrew is one of my husband's
favourites. The painting is a 12" x 12" square.
It looks less vibrant here 
than it is in real life.
One day I hope to paint 
similar paintings of everyone
I know, and clip 
them together to make one huge work."

I like the dream I had then. Nice idea.  Right now
other ideas are in the works.

Happy Birthday Andrew.

Have a loving your life day!
