I have been neglecting my blog again under a big cloud of sadness.

After a crazy scramble, I got into San Antonio late Monday, April 16 and my dear, beautiful, talented and kind Papa died the following day. I miss him more everyday. As spring creeps in around here – I keep wanting to show him some tiny, beautiful spring bloom that he would appreciate with me.

      Thanks Marcia 😔 can I ask if you got an email notification of the current posts, or did you stumble upon it? My site is behaving strangely . . .

      I was so lucky and honored to know your parents as an art student. Their wonderful view of this life has shaped me. I am still creating something original every day.

    Hello My name is Bruno Mattiello and I was once a student of your dads and mom. Over the years we lost touch. I was sad to hear about your dads passing. He was a great artist and a wonderful teacher. If possible could you pass my email information to Nancy if you could?
    I would love to hear from her!

    Thank you,

    Bruno
