Just updating on the client.
I just got an email from him saying he was home from "Processing." He spent three days filling out more papers than he had ever seen, taking courses and getting two hours of sleep a night.
His input in process has been very favorable and I had test packaged it before mailing. I ended up with tissue, not waxed paper. I put a tube within a tube wrapping the painting around the tube holding the stretcher bars and the larger tube filled with crumpled newsprint so the padding was rather giving.
There will be a few paper crinkles but it should stretch out fine. Arizona is a wonderful state.
Just musing on the fact that a boy can send a note out into cyberspace at the outbreak of a war, get a deal done, a painting completed and with the conflict not two weeks old, make it to the front with the piece hanging on his wall, half a continent away.
Such times....
