                  That  is a good observation,Insert. And norrmally, I would employ a summery like this as a denouement at an ending. What I wanted to do, was to clear and set aside  a whole matrix of succeeding families, who are actually real...

Interesting sketch, Paul. I

verbal portrait worthy of a Winslow Homer

Posted on Sun, 24 Jul 2022

Great verbal portrait, Paul. I could "see" what you described as well as feel the wind and the ocean spray sweeping across the moors on a chilly dusk. Winslow Homer tried to capture what you have written and did so artfully, as you have done. A...
