Three spokes of the family wheel.
I wanted to put out a couple of images that are in my vision at the moment.
The first is a sketch I did of my Father maybe 15 years ago, that now hangs in the living room. I caught my Father in a pose that was typical, engaged in thought. It is always difficult to make a portrait of someone who is very close, as the artist must become a conduit for mass and light and not allow subjectivity to enter the process. This however caught something in my Father that a camera cannot reach.
The other image that I see every day while at my Fathers is this lovely shot of Barbara and Ursula that he now uses as his desk top on his computer. We have taken many thousands of photos since Ursula was born, and this had become just another shot in a file... I think it has resurfaced to once again become one of my favorites.

Amazing drawing.
When are you back?
Been thinking (worrying) about you and your dad. Nice picture of him with the sandwich. Great story about the church. 1100! Gives me a funny feeling in the heart/stomach area to think about it. Must be the old souls tickling.
Have been horrified by the bombing. Words fail.
Love, Suzanne
