Dear Nora,

My wife Jan and I have two of your works and have enjoyed them immensely. We continue to support the Brown County Art Guild which is where we purchased our first "Kasten" from. Most recently, that piece has been hanging in my office in the Indiana Statehouse.

The Guild expressed an interest and we have agreed to donate one of your works to the permanent collection at the Guild.
The piece is a beautiful pastel and we will miss it but it will be part of the Guild's permanent collection.

Just wanted to tell how much joy your work has brought us over the years.

Regards,

Jeff

Congratulations Nora! These are all lovely. When a wonderful surprise like that letter arrives, it's such an enormous boost! You deserve lots of letters like this... I'm sure all your sold works continue to give pleasure to their owners. Your bright lovely colors put a smile on anyone's face!

Have a great day my friend. Hugs.

That is so nice, Nora! I love the lilacs in particular. Maybe one day I will own one of your paintings too!
