>>Hello Dick,
>>Your message was the first one I read this morning and I am smiling! What

>>for
>>
>>you both.
>>
>>Be sure to frame and hang the collage where everyone can appreciate it and
>>let him know what a beautiful piece of art it is! This is so important
>>because all art is about communication.  This is another way for Will to
>>communicate with other people. It reflects his sensibilities, his 
>>selections
>>
>>of papers and other things that he chose to put into it, and most of all 
>>it
>>reflects a journey that he has completed.
>>
>>All artists work in "a series" - that means, if he wants to do it, to 
>>begin
>>the NEXT collage work. Envision a group of his collage works, framed, and
>>hanging in his home.
>>
>>Wonderful to hear about Will - thanks so much for letting us know.  Lynda
