[Ohio-talk] Ohio-Talk Digest, Vol 114, Issue 9

[Owen McCafferty]

I'm have 2 Greeting cards that I will be submitting they are both textural paintings with a Christmas and Clevelwnd themes. One is entitled "Christmas on public square" with a holiday lighted terminal tower with Christmas collage around it like a wreath and the other is "Winter's Night" a winter scene of trees and snow and the far background a city scape! Wish me luck! I'll be submitting them next week!!
