One day recently as I strolled down Canyon Road, I was captivated by
this gallery, which was closed so I couldn't check out the work. Later on another day I went back and met the owner who was busy painting a new piece of art work. I introduced myself to Ed Larson, the owner/artist, and while we chatted I noticed one of his pieces entitled "Washington Island." Curious I asked its location. It turned out to be the same Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin which our family has loved and where we have vacationed each summer for years. Many years ago Ed had owned the business pictured in his painting, and we knew many of the same people on the Island. Uncanny coincidence!
What an interesting story to your photos. Yes, what a coincidence! That's life!
ReplyDeletesuperbe ce portrait , et puis une belle peinture
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary portrait, the man and his work!
ReplyDeleteHow funny and what a small world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun coincidence! i find it interesting how we interact and leave an influence on each other throughout our lives.
ReplyDeleteAnother "small world" moment.
ReplyDeleteFabulous portrait!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kate, I'm so glad you went back. I had a feeling you would connect with Ed. He's a very cool person. What a wonderful synchronicity!
ReplyDeleteI do like your portrait of Ed Larson. It looks like New Mexico is doing him a lot of good.
ReplyDeleteSerendipity! Beautiful portrait and from what I can see, I like his work.
ReplyDeleteThe old cliche, "It's a small world," often proves true. I ran into a fellow on the golf course a couple of days ago who lives in a city in Illinois where I spent several years.
We have found that it is a small world. This is another exceptional portrait of the artist.
ReplyDeleteCoincidences and a nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteHow about that, Kate? That artist looks like a rugged, yet kindly guy.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love when things like this happen. I guess we are all interconnected in ways we never discover until we get a chance to talk to someone.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice portrait!
