Wade, your friend's painting of the shabbat shofar, "Dawning of a New
Day" is very beautiful.  If I were rich I would bid, for sure.  Mind
"blowing".  Wonderful flowing lines and composition.  My dad was an
artist and I have some  appreciation from early childhood of
"composition" in painting.  I used to use this appreciation in
photography, when I had a camera (camera destroyed in fire, never got
another).  Your friend and the Messianic congregation should make a lot
on this painting's sale.

The full moon here last night, eve of Succoth, was beautiful.  Golden
moon in a clear sky.  One of the good things about living in New
Mexico.
