Hi Sharon,

Love that giant pastel too! I wonder the same thing as Jennifer, what ground? Masonite? or did you buy paper on a roll?

I lived in CT for about 28 yrs. and my husband's family is from Providence. New England is so rich culturally and sometimes I really miss being there. Especially miss the hydrangeas and peonies.

Thanks for the large format info, although I'd probably never attempt it where I am now. The framing must be monumental too!

Places I've lived in CT: Norwich/New London area (Hanover & Baltic), Lebanon, Hartford,Bloomfield, Tolland, Rocky Hill and Old Wethersfield. CT has really changed since the casinos though, not as quaint as it used to be in some areas.

Buddy strikes again
 
Ahh, Sharon,

A quick search reveals that Buddy didn't go to Brown. At least the Brown alumni magazine seems to think he didn't.

They credit him with a law degree from Marquette. He got a B.A. in political science from Fairfield University, another Jesuit school, as a further search revealed.

He must have transferred there from St. Louis. A Buddy story that I can contribute came from a discussion of the knowledge of good and evil in a religion class. When one of us suggested that it was not possible to to reach the age of reason without developing a conscience or superego, somebody else settled the point simply by uttering the phrase, "Buddy Cianci".

As I said, always thoroughly check any statement about Buddy, particularly if he was the source.

;)

I appreciate the left eye treatment. Sometimes I have the impression that only in America can we use so violent colors...

Do not forget to visit a marvelous portrait website:
