They remind me of the classic illustrations like Rudyard Kipling's, Van Gogh's Moleskine. I am so happy to hear of your fantastic adventure and that epsilon of yours! What a chip off the Mama Block! Smart Smart Smart!!!<br /><br />I love your circus paintings. The colors are very rich. I have only been to the circus twice and that was the 100th anniversary of the Ringling, in Houston and another time in Florida. <br /><br />My in-laws used to live in Sarasota so we took the children twice a year during the Spring and Summer. Sarasota is the home of the Ringling Museum and Ca' d'Azan, home of John and Mabel Ringling. Terrific classic, medieval and impressionist arts. They had the largest collectionsof Peter Paul Reubens tapestries. There is also the Ringling Circus Museum!!! Anyway, just imagine BUT i am sure nothing can beat DC!!!<br /><br />Have a fantastic 4th of July, dear Shirley.
