Thank You
I hope that you will permit me the indulgence of using our little corner of the world to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of your fellow brothers of the brush...Al Zanetti.
I woke up this morning just as the sun was rising and the sky was this really cool purplish color (his favorite) with some awesome white swirly clouds. I laughed to myself and thanked him for the "brushstrokes".
I hope that you all have a great day. If you get a chance, lift your brush and send a little Happy Birthday his way- he loved birthdays.

Your post just made my day.
Thank You
I didn't know your dad. I had seen his work on occasion in the past and admired it but it didn't register personally.
Since you have come aboard and all the others who knew him and his work well speak of him so fondly.
January for me ais a time to recharge my batteries creatively. This year I am doing it by going through all my back issues if SignCraft and AMAL and cruising web pages of folks who do such great work. I find much inspiration there. And in those old magazines your dad's work lives on.
With the personal connections forged here it has focussed my attention on his work. THe love he had for his craft glows even in small reproductions of his work.
THankyou for keeping your dad's memory alive and introducing those of us who didn't know him.
Happy Birthday Al !
May your memory and work live long and continue to inspire all who see it!

Your post reminds me of how blessed I am to have three DAUGHTERS. The bond between father and daughter is something special. I have witnessed it many times over the years. I wanted a boy so bad all three times. The last time I was sure it was going to be a boy. I was temporarly disappointed when I saw the ultrasound. Than thought what a wonderful gift God was giving me. Well tomorrow is Rosalee's fourth birthday anniversary. She is truly a special little person. All three aer special. I thank God every day.
So Happy Birthday to your dad Al. He sees you today and is thinking how blessed he is to.
Regards,
Jim Mulligan
A special Happy Birthday to Rosalee! also have a four year old, named Samantha.
Thanks for your nice post.
Kimberly, your post was indeed touching. Today marks 1 month since my Dad died, & I remember about an hour after I was notified, My eyes wandered to the clouds & I immediately "felt" how his energy had merged with the cosmos. He was never able to visit Hawaii in life, but I looked at some flowers later that same day & I really sense his presence in my life through all of God's Creation.
