Still love seeing the new things you have found on artists from that beautiful state you live in!! Plus love the reminder of the Gruelle Famiily of artists of which I have one insignificant colorful palm tree painting when one lived in So Miami, Fla!! The Hogan's? were friends of the family...and it was a dau or son or uncle or Aunt that lived with them I believe temporarily....
