My dearest Helga commissioned this Julie Fillo painting for my birthday one year. It's one of my very favorite gifts, ever! (Made all the more precious by the fact that it was lost at my post office for about a month.)
Julie is painting an extensive series of women with birds, and Helga asked her to create one that looks like me, includes my favorite colors and a hint of my personal symbology. It's a big painting, probably 16x20, and it graces my living room.

I am so proud of you keeping up your blog! YOU go girl! I bopped over to your ARTitude site tonight and I was sad to see the end of an era. You and Helga made some great waves in a big ocean and you should both be proud as punch. You are right....Stampington has made it hard for the small guys and over saturated the market. But there are always new horizons and YOU have made your mark!
