Re: [Paddlewise] Artist's change of orbit

Carey,

I know from nothing about art; but I know what I like. And Jeanette clearly
has a clue. I would think there would be a lot of galleries in the keys or
even the south Miami area that would be interested in carrying her work.

I'd buy it myself... and if it ever shows up in my favorite gallery
(Goodwill) I certainly will pick it up.  :)
