They are lovely pieces, but my question is "How did you think of those things to do?" The answer is "your genius".

Dearest Alma,
Plesant memories of 'Uncle' Bob Armstrong were aroused by his portrait. Your talent is much in evidence. You are one of the better people, humans, I have known and it is a privledge to do you honor. Your art too.
T. G.

Beautiful! and Individually Yours. Thank you for sharing it with us.
R. H.

I love your idea of clothing pictures, very interesting. My favorite was the ****** dress.
S. A.

Your art gives one a good sense of history. It shows fragments of people's lives and you get a sense that these people really lived. It is not a "cold" form of art that you appraise and then forget. I am grateful to have come to know it.
