hi there santalina! I haven't been here for soooo long. Thank you for your visit. I have now opened my studio & gallery and have several commissions ...hence the lack of emotional energy to spend on MAP. All is great here by the ocean...the area is full of interesting people and unusual situations...I feel very blessed. I do hope all is well up North, at least the weather is a little warmer than here....happy painting and happy days...will visit again...b.

Hi all, greeting from the Sunshine Coast. What a fabulous site this is.........in this huge castle we all come together and we are working as one on this massive “Tapestry”. Great artistic works; we are all different aren’t we, thank God for that. However when our works are joined together it produces the most colorful huge tapestry with gold and silver threads throughout it. Can you visualize this tapestry? It is magnificent, priceless, and there are more contrasts and lightening to be added onto it. The story will continue….........gunnelau
