Can you send me the number of that romantic charmer in the first paragraph please?
Sparking: Of course an artist is never through being an artist. :-)
Linda: Artists muse over, start and complete, or not, a number of projects their whole lives. Sounds good to me. Oh and about the number: Call 800-976-BABE. (I got that from the movie "Pretty Woman."
C.K.: At least you are able to clean up and move on... :-)
Harvey: True enough.
Torman: Agreed. After the ceiling was complete, the master worked on many other great projects with care and attention.
GJI Penguin: Enjoy.
