Not many blog posts lately because, as the saying goes, I can't walk and chew gum at the same time. The same goes for for drawing and writing… which is why I usually don’t chew gum.

ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Ann. Apparently I must love angels, too; I keep returning to them as subjects. They are all around us, or at least that is what I would like to believe.
ReplyDeleteHi Al! Thanks for the comment and for the nice email note. When are you leaving for Maine?
Love, Lin
Hi Lin. we leave dec. 23 i think. and stay about a week? you still didn't say....what inspired the theme of two angels? love
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the inspiration...maybe that I hold a strong association between angels and Christmas. Angels represent goodness, pureness, protection and guidance... all the things that the peace of Christmas is supposed to bring; it's what makes Christmas Day so special and so different than any other day of the year. Maybe that makes some sense. But maybe not :) Love, Lin
