love. Either the people being painted want a
special present for someone they care about, or
clients want people they love to be painted.
As an artist, a feeling of strong affection
for the world, its landscapes, and people is
in every painting and drawing I am happy with.
My hope is that the people who buy my work
enjoy that quality.
Tonight's drawing is of someone missing home,
and thinking about the loved ones there. Many
people around the world are feeling that tonight.
Love is such a strong bond, and we feel the lack
of it when the people we love to be around are
far away. The miracle of the world we live in
is that we can feel much closer than we could have
even a century ago -- maybe even than we could
have five years ago.
Have a loving-the-people-around-you-and-missing-you day.
It's truly amazing how easy it is to connect anywhere on the globe. And from the comfort of our own homes. Thanks to the internet I've made friends I'd never have been able to before. What will be doing ten years from now?

Hi Eldon,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing isn't it. And people like you seem like friends in the neighbourhood, so I have to keep thinking to myself, 'now where is Eldon?' Oh yeah -- Colorado.
Take care,
Barbara
