An extraordinary gift

"CJ"

With a note:

CD - This piece was inspired in no small part by your recently published works. --Thomas

The artist is Tom Strah, who played the lead in my first play production at the Univ of Oregon when I was in grad school working on my MFA, and whom I've known for this long. He has a small part in my micromovie The Farewell Wake. He's painting a lot since retirement. You can see why.
