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

"Tonight I'm at a Fairfield Inn in Orange Park, FL, fifteen minutes from The Corse Gallery in Jacksonville where I'll be attending Barbara Flowers' "Lunch & Learn" session all day tomorrow. 


Last night I was so exhausted that I didn't share with you about the wonderful article to appear in The Naples Daily News paper about me along with photos of my paintings.  A very good writer/author from the Naples Baptist Church submitted the article to our newspaper to appear in yesterday's edition, advertising for last night's big Art Show and sale.  Other artists were written about too but I was featured in a very special way. . . . every artist's hopeful wish.


Well,  IT DIDN'T HAPPEN . . .  .  a glitch happened and the article never went to print.  First thought was "OH MY, WHY" and then the Spirit within accepting that God didn't want that article printed or it would have been.  Who knows why but I do know that I will continue to listen and follow this Inner Voice.  It has never let me down and always leads to true success with great peace and contentment.  I believe there is something of significance I am being taught here and about life on this path.  The word "ego" comes to mind.
