I'm not sure that she'll be able to help you with a printer's proof, however, as we never sold them within the gallery and have not followed their values.

However, ask anyone who lived through the thing and they get it. And, no matter how merrily life goes on, there remains a certain sadness that will never lift. dLWendy Rodrigue Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289447655110009690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-70021131652579241442010-06-15T08:25:27.973-05:002010-06-15T08:25:27.973-05:00Your blog reminded me of how George would tell abo...Your blog reminded me of how George would tell about his dog sitting at his feet while he worked.<br />Sometimes when I am servicing others through my distant healing work (Traiteur) I see the figure of George's dog come and lay down in the front of me. It is as real as you and me.<br />Sometimes I feel the dog laying on the side of my bed when I or a family member are not feeling well.<br />I am always so grateful and comforted by the presence.<br />It calms me to perform my work in the name of others.Renae Harringtonhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/renaenellieblossom.harringtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-15485836143749625082010-06-14T11:25:11.776-05:002010-06-14T11:25:11.776-05:00Thank you, Moira.

I'm fairly sure that I'll be talking about this during a post next Wednesday. I had hoped to do so this week, but I'm not ready to face this possible horror story for my beautiful hometown beaches. In the meantime, the eloquence and sadness within your post speaks for many of us.

I also linked to this terrific post on George's work "before" and "after" the storm. I hope his (and yours) cautious optimism is still in tact. Mine is waning today.<br /><br />http://dreamdogsart.typepad.com/art/2010/06/blue-dog-for-flag-day.htmlMoirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110304100788151254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-10230954886231060502010-06-14T10:44:41.835-05:002010-06-14T10:44:41.835-05:00What an honor to see a painting that's hanging...What an honor to see a painting that's hanging in my living room in this blog entry. When I first saw Voodoo Nights and the others in the Dream series I said to George, "It's like you're looking through smoke. It's still beautiful, but scary." George said, "That's pretty good." : )deacontoddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164182822249684057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079877794128349006.post-36966269373581811762010-06-14T07:44:20.086-05:002010-06-14T07:44:20.086-05:00All of these wonderful comments!

"Black Magic" is very erie and I love the landscapes with trees. I love New Orleans and was saddened by Katrina. I haven't been back yet, but I hope to one day see the Quarter again and visit your gallery again.Dorissanoreply@blogger.com
