Shared Inspiration

The other day my husband Googled my name and found a pleasant surprise. A poet, James Bettendorf, published a poignant poem and used my painting, Suffer the Children, as the title and illustration. Please check it out at: http://archive.feedblitz.com/8753/~4815098

First of all, it's uplifting to know that people all over the world are viewing my creations via the world-wide web. Secondly, it's a reminder that you never know how something you say or do might affect someone else. Thirdly, it's a lesson in creativity breeding more creativity.

Mr. Bettendorf's words say exactly what I was feeling when I painted this, but I could never have expressed it so beautifully!
