And I do believe you helped me reach a milestone when you became my 200th follower. Yay! George and I both are so happy to know that you’re enjoy your paintings, and that you were able to visit the new gallery. It’s been a big project for all of us, as you can imagine. You might find this post of interest for several reasons; it will give you a chance to learn the history of the gallery and to analyze me -ugh: <br /><br />http://www.wendyrodrigue.com/2010/05/gallery-of-his-own-woolf-inspires-wolfe.html<br /><br />I wanted to let you know, in case you haven’t seen it, that another blog post features one of your paintings as well, specifically the beautiful "She Added Color to My Life."

You saw it here at our home during Katrina. <br /><br />John, Lauren (our assistant) and the 3-year-old Ariel and I just returned from New Orleans...and the city is great! Your new gallery on Royal Street in New Orleans is huge and fabulous and offered us wonderful shelter from the heat. The paintings are grand and John Rodrigue was doing a great job managing the gallery.
