I don't know if I've ever met you or not ... could have been, I'm a bit older than you, I'm sure. I've gone to Monhegan for about 22 years in a row. Stayed with June Day, Barbara H., at Ed Deci's cabin and lots of other places. Have done and am still doing paintings of where my heart resides,.... Monhegan (and, of course, Maine). I've painted with Clay Kent (I was 'ok' but my sister who accompanied me one year, really benefited and was really good) and am dear friends with Marie, to whom I still write, along with Paul Niemic and others.

This painting with light really caught my interest and appreciation for your talent and I was moved to write you a wee note and tell you so. You're an inspiration and a real creator and just wanted to tell you so. I was saddened to hear of Mary Barney's passing.

I’ve gone to Monhegan for about 22 years in a row. Stayed with June Day, Barbara H., at Ed Deci’s cabin and lots of other places. Have done and am still doing paintings of where my heart resides,….
