A week or so ago I received a lovely request from drama teacher Russ at Grassfield High School in Chesapeake, Virginia USA! He and his students are putting on a play about Theodosia Burr Alston (sounds like an interesting story...mysterious disappearances at sea!) He asked if they could possibly use one of my paintings for their poster. I wouldn't normally say yes, willy-nilly, to anyone using my artwork, but it's for a school theatre production, and as an ex-theatre student myself, I couldn't say no. So, if you happen to be in Chesapeake on Thursday, Friday or Saturday this week, do drop in and tell them all to 'break a leg' from me, as it's a little far for me to go! Here's the poster they designed, with my 'Waves' featured. I'm looking forward to receiving a T-Shirt!
What fun! And, I really like the word verification word....
ReplyDeletewhat do you think.... "hypodlou" - its almost Greek!
Hi Mermaid. What a cool T-shirt that would be. I like your mantra, "I must not forget how to fly'. I also like this one by Chesterton, "Angels fly because they take themselves lightly".Peace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place the WWW is indeed, where a WOL in Texas can share the world of an artist down under, and get to know a person they otherwise would probably never have met in place they probably never would have gone to -- and I have gotten to know beautiful artwork!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I love the magic of the web!!
