Hello Steve and everyone in Dallas,

Vishnu arrived right on time and printed out all of your pictures.  They

and now hanging on the wall beside me.  He labeled them with numbers and I

can see the numbers from here so if you don't mind I will use the numbers

instead of the names.


I immediately liked picture number 3 of the Farmer's market.  I like the
composition of flowers and cactus, etc.

 
pic 3... Grace and Pam

I like the humor in the pictures of number 6.  I agree when it's hot a
swimming pool is a great idea.  I know this because my home away from here
has had a pool shaped similar to that for 27 years now.  It's used heavily
in the summer -- which is probably shorter than yours.  The drink is also
a nice idea except I stopped because unfortunately I was a messy drinker. 
What went down often came up.

 
pic 6 ... Lisa and Linda


I liked picture number 2 because of the humor in the drawings of big hats
and big hair!  I think I've heard that about Texas before.

 
pic 2 ... a href="a5lisamartha.jpg">Lisa and Martha

I can't say I remember any controversy about the airplanes.  And if they
were headed towards each other like that in picture number 5 I would be
very glad not to be the pilots of either of those airplanes!

 
pic 5 ... Gwen and Norm

As always I commend the efforts of all the teachers doing what I could
never do and what I hate to judge as I cannot do it myself

Picture number 8 is apparently showing the diversity of things in Texas. 
In the Longhorn steer in picture number four is on a very small patch of
green grass.  Hardly enough for the poor thing to eat.  With the tiny
little white cloud in the sun.  It is amusing.

 
pic 8 ... Steve Kramer

So these are my comments and now I think I'll go outside and enjoy the sun
that is only in the seventies today.  Thanks to all of you and hope you
had good week and enjoyed learning from Steve.

The picnic here is Sunday's Steve -- will you be dropping by?  Best wishes
to all down in Dallis, Texas.

Hope this is enough for you to judge -- I'm sure Colleen will have all her
comments to add.

the
blond haired girl and the the

2.	Norm and Gwen -- no, I don't think that we have any battling airlines
so to speak, but whatever starts some rottweilers (I apologize if I spelled 
the name of the dog incorrectly, but I don't own one anyway so I'm

But I can just hear the two planes growling

car, otherwise,               exhaust noise were beyond the 84 decibels
limit you
	          were judged not in any way legal, no matter which organization
you	
		represented it really didn't matter that the track was there long 
		before the ground was broken for the Church -- it just shows that a 
racer-head doesn't earn any respect in anyone's eyes.  I know, because I
was there.








The end it had had 1.	The one with a riot of plant life it what they like
this and their depiction
of a farmers market and it started to depict a sense of length and depth
to  the picture that only color and shadow are not so adept at .  

I can't I can't tear myself away from the drawing because it hints at
elements that I haven't gotten through looking at.  The picture had a good
of the bottom matter to me.
