I think it was called 'Dream of Life'. Suzette, who had invited me over, would interject snippets of what she knew from the book, helping to flesh out the story that was so visually captured. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it. I found that just in the watching Patti's devotion to art inspired me to remember how to view life in that way, and reminded me of the beauty.WolfsGotYourTonguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947786926891929359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284948328098185947.post-92211108680490121772011-01-20T10:15:53.128-06:002011-01-20T10:15:53.128-06:00I agree, Garnett.

He seemed so charmed by her. And while I agree that a lot of her success had to do with being at the right place at the right time with the right people, I also think it was due to her work ehtic. No matter what else was goign on, she was working and evolving as an artist.Garnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12737381368702323594noreply@blogger.com
