It is a terrible time for all the fine arts, especially the ones that were under-funded in the boom years. The Times yesterday all but predicted the close of City Opera -which would be a shame. view Peter 's profile | Ping Peter Peter Wimsey , Jun 13, 2009, 9:25PM EDT I haven't seen you for some time - hope that all is well. view Peter 's profile | Ping Peter Μόףףý ● ķ ~ "No rain, no rainbows" ~, May 27, 2009, 9:54AM EDT Hi Doug, Long time no see. I just wanted to tell you that I have been remembering your wonderful paintings while watching my birds this spring. We seem to have attracked a couple of big beautiful Blue Jays, they are amazing birds and you capture them perfectly! Now I have to try and capture some photos of them. Normally they're so skittish but this year they seem to be calmer for some reason. I hope to take advantage of that soon. Have a great day! view Μόףףý ●'s profile | Ping Μόףףý ● Lisa M., Apr 6, 2009, 9:51AM EDT Welcome to The Book Review :) view Lisa's profile | Ping Lisa Μόףףý ● ķ ~ "No rain, no rainbows" ~, Feb 26, 2009, 2:39PM EST Thank you for the nice ping. :) view Μόףףý ●'s profile | Ping Μόףףý ● Μόףףý ● ķ ~ "No rain, no rainbows" ~, Jan 22, 2009, 3:43PM EST Hi Doug, We had snow here in N.C. for the first time in a few years. I was thinking about your paintings while trying to capture some of my feathered friends on film. I did see a Blue Jay in the snowy tree the day after my photo op..unfortunatley I didn't have my camera handy so I missed him. Better luck next time, I hope! view Μόףףý ●'s profile | Ping Μόףףý ● Dawn L., Jan 2, 2009, 6:30PM EST Doug, Just thought I would let you know that I have enjoyed viewing your artwork.
