Not one of my best John, but it was summer and I don't work well in the heat.

Artist Reply: Thank you Lucia, right now I am hardly painting at all. Maryland in Summer is just a bit too hot for this old boy.

When I am abroad I always visit cemeteries. When living in Germany, the cemetery was even my backyard (No kidding) This ACEO is a beautiful addition to your collection, Frank

Artist Reply: You must have managed to get a touch of the Blarney while you were in Europe, but I like it. What I am doing these days is to paint on heavy acrylic paper and fit the painting to the particular frame in stock. Naturally, being me, I dont stick to that routine because I like painting larger pictures too. Thanks for the word Olga, lots of love and a few simpers. Frank.
