I gave this to Nin because it was rather like their view from their house.

Gifts to friends..2001

I like the idea of having all the artworks I gave away in one place so I can look at them...they are my old friends too!  In a conversation with P.K. Page she mentioned that she had given away a lot of her artwork and didn't have any photos or records of it.


Oli was Mary's lovely golden retriever who enjoyed winegums.
