Thanks! Her senior show is at the Lamar Dodd gallery. The show is being taken down tomorrow.

Coincidentally, Annie Laurie, the wife of Lamar Dodd (for whom the school of art at UGA is named), was my shoe salesperson at Neiman Marcus for many years. When I was 6 months pregnant with LRR, she helped me choose a pair of Bruno Magli low-heeled slingbacks. I had always worn spike heels to flaunt my height, but decided not to risk that while pregnant. Annie Laurie suggested that I go up a half size because of being pregnant. I did. My next stop was at the OB/GYN for a regular checkup. He told me I was in labor and told me to get to the hospital ASAP. I said, "No way! I haven't finished shopping." I ended up hospitalized until LRR was born. Didn't get to wear the Bruno's while on bed rest, but needed the larger size after delivery because feet really do get bigger after a pregnancy (there's a medical explanation for that).

Back to art, our daughter has commissions for several portraits, doing the photography for several weddings, and creating some websites (she's a programmer, too). She will be a busy woman!

Always such a pleasure to see!

Thank you

You are making me homesick for SoWal.

Don't be blue BR, just hold all the great memories in your heart and let it make you smile when you think of SoWal Perhaps a visit is in order for you soon!

A few photos of our daughter's senior art show. She has been commissioned to do quite a few portraits due to the response to her show. Besides doing portraiture, she is a photographer, graphic designer, and website designer/programmer as well.

Edit: BTW the photos are from right after her work was hung, so the spotlights had not been adjusted yet.

We're proud of her!

Please give a congrats to your daughter ... that is some superb portrait work and a very nice accomplishment ... thank you for sharing.

Patience & Wisdom HERONS
