Just waiting on proof from printers for first one, a small booklet about how I cope with the effects of cancer and radiation treatment. It will be distributed through various help groups associated with the Cancer Council and a percentage of profits is going to the Cancer Council, and the second one "My Poetry & Art" is still going through the long slow process of editing at the publishers. I hope to have a launch in the next few months. Will send you invite. XXX

THanks Prof. No I don't do commissions, or at least people don't ask me. I usually paint from inspiration. What I paint today I can't paint tomorrow. I've always been that way. Inspiration is an illusive thing. This last spate of portraits has surprised me more than anyone. They've come from me experimenting with watercolor. You should see some of my failures ha ha ha :)))) xxxx

i don't believe you have failures...oh,bring back the days when i was doing pencil sketches,portraits,on the beach ,for people and selling little blocks of wood,with small oil,landscapes,that i prepared a home...it was great,scraping a living and getting robbed and arrested,now and then...only joking,but it was an experience...oh yes,i did get an exhibition in madrid,95,...met gallery owners....

I smile because I think about all of those little masterpieces you painted and sold on the beach back then, a little piece of you spread about so many different homes becoming a part of someone else's life. That's how I think of art, it's a legacy we leave for others to enjoy, a little piece of ourselves, our souls left on earth still living, long after we have departed or the shells of our bodies have departed. The thought of that makes me happy. Does it you? xxx
