What a great opening post for your blog. What's the chance that you'd have the decendent of the subject write you a letter? Hopefully this will help get me out of my creative rut and back to painting.~GaryGary Dombrowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09595511328277618342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194685444868691922.post-33333144347826889872007-08-30T17:54:00.000-07:002007-08-30T17:54:00.000-07:00Great site Pete.

What a moving letter - how did you reply to it and what caused you to paint Silas? Greg DScipiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06412741104828314252noreply@blogger.com
