2. YDogg, thank you for that catch. It's creepy. I tried it initially and |
|
it did fine. then it doesn't.
I attribute this to demons.
Thanks again.

3. I have loved all the Wyeth's art and especially Christina... |
|
That was my sister's name and we did live in the country. It's how I like to think of her.
Now, after waxing... That's an apropos description of how W must feel from time to time.

4. Hi, JAYD. Yes. Wyeth's paintings generally and CHRISTINA |
|
especially... I love them. This painting has a lonesome beauty to it that I just can't forget. I think it is that lonesomeness, that beautiful lonesomeness, that gives it such a punch.
