I was walking out in the fields of an 18th century farm in central KY (belonging to a friend's father) a few weeks back and wishing I had Wellies to put on. That will definitely be a purchase in my future. I am answering your blog about Friends I never met. Mine is Christina from Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World. She hangs in my loft and I have wondered what she looks like since Wyeth chose to paint her from the back.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175026072231744648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-34152451715254166972011-02-09T05:28:10.149-08:002011-02-09T05:28:10.149-08:00Max Beckmann was a German painter, he was excellen...Max Beckmann was a German painter, he was excellent, in my job, we have a painting of him.<br />So I think that the images in the blog are fantastic and very good.<br />Excellent job.Buy Viagrahttp://www.iservepharmacy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-54902069426246057072009-01-20T07:25:00.000-08:002009-01-20T07:25:00.000-08:00Im not sure about loosing identity when you are ma...Im not sure about loosing identity when you are married to an older man.

I was obsessed with Christian Schaad for years and bought every foreign edition, limited press book I could find on him. I was soo happy when "Glitter and Doom" came out.
