I love your writing, and it goes without saying that I love your painting.<br /><br />XO Barbara<br /><br />By the way -- we went to the AGO on Sunday and looked at the Group of Seven paintings. Lawren Harris used lime green -- or bright green apple green -- only lighter in some of his winter snow scenes. And you know what?

That time will be so huge in our memories forever I'm sure.<br />I remember my older son was at the University of Windsor, and I wanted him home.

We watched one special that was beautifully done about a fire hall and the men in it.<br />We held hands while we watched because it was so different seeing everything after being in New York. Everyone felt like family.<br /><br />I do miss my father every day, and I'm glad he died quietly and with my mother, not in a horrific tragedy.<br /><br />Thank you for joining your dream with mine. <br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-73209661461380416322011-09-12T19:38:28.980-07:002011-09-12T19:38:28.980-07:00Nice write Barbara.

Very expressive with such wonderful flowing lines. impressive.<br />moving post about Sep 11. my own experience of watching that carnage unfolded as i watched the 11 o'clock evening news in Australia. Of course i never slept all night, stayed up in horror, and was numb the next day.<br />Hooray for the Pugwash peace initiative!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-29954488274144652142011-09-11T22:29:02.119-07:002011-09-11T22:29:02.119-07:00A beautiful portrait and poignant words.

It will be a better day when all nuclear weapons are a distant memory.<br /><br />I'm sorry for your loss.
