Rose Anne with Thimble Island Abstract

We first met Rose Anne and Dave when they contacted us to host one of our Turkish guests.  They had been hosted by the very same club outside Izmir Turkey last year and had such a wonderful experience they felt moved to return the favor even though they live a fare distance from the sphere of action.  They were great day hosts...and enjoyed part of the state that they rarely, if ever, had visited, like a cruise on the Thimble Islands.

I was surprised and delighted to receive this photo from them yesterday.  They had sought out the SAQA/CT Local Color exhibit at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, not too distant from their home.  I think they thought it a very interesting coincidence that one of their favs was my Thimble Island Abstract.

Thanks, Rose Anne and Dave.
