Joy, sorry for not responding sooner. Had problems with my laptop. It was infected with 29GB of zipped files and spy ware. Had to re-install everything.
From early childhood I knew no boundaries. Brought up in a country town, more in the country than the town, I experienced the joys of a farm and country life stile. Sure, while growing up, I envied the kids that lived in the city but these same kids envied me. Their plenty could not measure up to the simplicities and the small pleasures that a life in the county offers. I guess that is why now days we have commuters (we run to the city to work and right back out to the country in order to enjoy the peace an nature). Don't get me wrong the city life has its charm. I know for most of my adult life was spent in the city.
I raced cars, motorcycles (not professionally) and was quite wild according to todays standards. In the sumer of 1989 I sat on back of a motorcycle with a friend and not but a few blocks from my home the accident o-curd. Some young man with his car caused the accident and I and my friend ended-up in the Emergency ward. It tuck but a second at an intersection and my friend who was driving the bike ended up with a punctured lung and busted wrist. My friends life was in grave danger and the doctors had doubts whether I was to walk again. My spine was fractured. We did survive and I am walking again thank God but our life at least mine will never be the same. There are many thing in life that I enjoyed prier the accident which never will I be able to again. Honestly though, many a times I considered getting another bike but decided against it. I have come to realize that in life there are so many thing that are as exciting if not more than riding a bike. My younger brother has a K1100 and I do take it out for a spin when the urge is strong. Riding in a car can never be a substitute but I must measure the importance of life. I have come to realize that in the cage of a car I have a better chance of surviving in order to enjoying the simple things in life.
Joy, thank you for visiting my website. Yes, most all is done from life. I do enjoy copying some inspirational photos and also the works of the masters of old and masters of today. I find that I can learn much this way.
I am not sure how involved the pilers of Bad Homburg are in fund raising. I am sure they are and I curtainlly will take your advice. It will be my pleasure to help them along being that I have some experience in the humanitarian field. I know for a fact that Germany allocates millions each year for humanitarian aid and projects.
One of my draw backs is that I am just getting to know the German language and the area. So, I must work doubly hard if I plan to make a living from my art.
I have heard of Mary Kay and Tupperware but do not know of the marketing procedures. I do like Mary Kay's idea, your suggestion, of the unveiling part and will do my best to put it into effect when ever possible.
That is correct, "Portraits for everyone!"
Joy, thank you for being who you are and for sharing with us.
