Hi Ed! I liked the story of how you got started. Seems like if you are as talented as you are you would know it soon after birth. The picture you painted me is in my kitchen window and those lemons will last a long time. Thank you for always making me laugh and being you. :0)~Renee
Hi Ed:
What a beautiful tribute to you and your art. We have always enjoyed visiting your home, because it is unique, warm, and artistic.
May you have many more years of creating unique pieces of art. Maybe Josh will inherit your artistic talent.
We miss having him in the Bay Area. Hope to see him soon.
Congratulations,
Neil and Marlene
Ed, you’re looking good for 71!
