A nice item but,alas, the picture vanished when I tried to forward it to the list. COuld you resend it?

The image was a JPEG composed in Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1 for Apple. For reasons beyond my technical ken, such images sometimes disappear into the ether of this Windowed world. [I will append a duplicate of what I sent previously at the bottom of this note: let me know if it works on a second try.] If not, I think I can convert it to a Windows compatible file and send that on to you, tomorrow.
 
I didn't know of your interest in painting in VN. I have a long, rough, semi-edited essay that I have to mop up for a publisher. If you would care to exercise your expertise, I can send it to you.   Best, DOn

I will own up to interest but demur on expertise. It would be a great pleasure to see your essay. -Sandy
