I moved to California in 1978. John and his wife Phyllis became my family. They welcomed me and whomever I brought over, a successive series of girlfriends, my future wife, Donna and of course, our children. Their home became our place of warmth and love through successive crises, celebrations and holidays. This blog celebrates and honors my love for them and an investigation of art from a very subjective point of view.

John in Mexico City
I just gave away a beautiful painting by my uncle, John. He did it at the art school in San Miguel de Allende. Shortly thereafter there was a teacher strike, and the government withdrew GI Bill funding. He briefly studied at the Pyrotechnical Institute in Mexico City. It was there he had a show with other GI friends and of course saved the article in the Mexico City newspaper. What is great about this article is that the painting hangs in the background of the publicity photo. I will publish all three here now.
I have been trying to figure out how to put a link to my webpage in my lead paragraph. Perhaps I will figure it out. http://www.wix.com/sebastopoledwar8/home
I just found some more of my card, as yet unpublished. I bought some blank card at Staples to begin some more. Now I'm sorry that I did. I found some much better cards at our local art store.
