Your drawings and paintings never cease to amaze me. This era has always fascinated me, and I'm just now really appreciating it for its value and contribution to future decades. I'm certainly glad you revived it in this colorful piece.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't get here sooner. Life has been a bit busy this week and is sure to get busier next week. I promise to be more on the "ball" when I get some of these commitments out of the way. I always appreciate that you visit and share your lovely thoughts with me.
