I had a wonderful time visiting all the artists, and seeing such a wide array of beautiful art. It's an event that I attend every year. The grounds are beautiful and the food and wine are delicious. There is no comparison. Thanks again for supporting the arts.

I was in an email dialogue with both Phil Linhares and Scott Shields when my hard drive crashed and I lost both emails. I would like to reestablish communications with both. If possible, can you forward this message to them. Please ask them to email me at this address: atelier9@lmi.net

Thank You
