I love trees and Deer Archetype is wonderful. I have followed Lorraine Roy's career for years (trees again) and actually talked to her this summer when she was at an art fair that takes place at City Hall every July. As for Patricia Polacco, I love her work and read quite a few of her books. Thanks for introducing George Callaghan to us. I will be checking out the links. <br />Snow doesn't last forever so enjoy its beauty while you can but stay warm.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179606490232711248.post-33397919076976449842010-01-11T18:35:16.062-08:002010-01-11T18:35:16.062-08:00Such wonderful treats here as usual!
