wow ppl thank you for the appreciation ! :) Abhrodeep I trust you're lookn at this ? All the best, RN

Dear terrible Scott :) .... ouch hallelujah as they say. I react cuz am thinking somehow am responsible for not painting enough of the sins of my fathers. (This stuff is beyond belief and the victims are everyday people). But you've provoked me to reach even deeper into the grime ; Ive tried, and shall try again. Thank you, but do something more. Meet India. Lookn forward to more earth stories. 1.20+ billion people hugya right back

... at night, after the fireflies had swooned... / some say trains stay with us all our lives..." kudos! For bringn those wheels back in! Have such memories ; holidays, racing horizons.... thankyou Innersong

Thank you fantastic people for the appreciation. Yeah, me too, LIKE GOGH and so many past artistes of varied genre...the past > the present > the future! And I can just see how you talented persons will be affecting a whole layer of humanity that visits your space...Regina, Ludmila, everyone. The silence that goes with your work, sometimes? Maybe that's the price tag, eh?? :) All the best

Tracie, your painting Bluebell woods... breathtakingly lovely...thank yo so v much

thank you Annebeth .. am here in a tiny township with my parents and sis (eye doc) ; its another world from the city , and am blest by memories and friends from other places than my own geography ... thinkn... how blest we all are, to have each other. Gosh if each perspn's gifts could be audibly/visibly used, shared without timidity or otherwise, what a bunch we'd all be... :)

its me that's thankn you ! With you, every awful cloud will drip rainbow. Its there in your eyes. U have the gift of inspiring people, kickstartn mules (me) with evn little words,seemingly tiny touches. Soon you'll be putting together a Book that'll break barriers, if you haven't already.. Yep theres purpose in pain.Labourpains uh ! Never know what youre about to bring on and I'll NOT BE SURPRISED ONE TEENY WEENY BITTY BIT.

LOVE this painting, and the frankness here.. read it with a lump in me throat / our eldest, 16, adorable, and so grown up, the lil babe has disappeared inside a frame taller than mine, way too mature... But here, the ache, the longing, joy, beauty and new things all coming together in one gorgeous painting... You 're a Mom to learn from , thank you so much for this share...

Thank you so much for sharing that lovely lovely post Regina. And I cabt believe thats a painting ! You lovely talented fun mom. If every teacher were like this, our kids would run to school. My son Johann,( 10) blind and hyper, was slow to start things, but would like your son catch the big word. Then he broke into long sentences. He is doing great now, but thinks like a grown man.THe other day pulling on socks he yelled, " AM FED UP OF THIS SCHOOL BUSINESS ! AM READY FOR COLLEGE, BUT NEED STUDY LEAVE FIRST.." Yeah lookn back, we 'll see just how blest with beauty and humor we all been / are... thankyou Regina. Today I needed to remember how far we've come.

Thank you Karsten : it means a lot to me too / from a very small age I been drawn to little ones with no homes. Our youngest two adopted us, and continue to give us so much in return. If words and paints arrived, its becuz Life happened so beautifully. God bless all families everywhere !

Thank you ... Oh KARSTEN !! What an experience that mustv been wow... hey do write about it. Would love to read a real life account. What I have donr is part memory/ part real/ part imagination as you can see... Here's the truth : would love to open a Coffee shop oneday, ArtStudio one end( very private),& Bookshop. All in a major compound with lots of animals :)

Tracie,I truly thank you.Sometimes words flow, or are like a scowling mule. Yesterday I could not stop. Years ago, I wrote " Pestonji & the woods" for an Indian Mag. Editor said I could write to entertain, with truths& humor albeit ! You saying it now, makes me want to go"unbridle":) I love the expressions in animals faces. Like they understand our chaos, but stay quiet, for sheer wisdom. Tx again Tracie.

Thank you so much Lisa ; years ago,my high sch.teacher told me I wrote too too much,frivolous writing, she said. To hear you say " subtleness" .. what a relief :)
