On the contrary, thank you for looking at Richie's paintings. Did you see the one where the pretty horses gallop off into the shape of a sleeping baby's face and the butterfies fly into the shape of a lamb? Who thinks of stuff like that? Richie does, because he's an artist. It's a beautiful, wildly imaginative, tender-hearted painting.

Do you know how difficult it is to create such paintings and worry about the world at the same time? It's difficult. But no matter what matter what it took to get them here, they're here. And there's no taking them back.

I am going to buy that one for my grandson Carter to present to him on the day his new little brother or sister arrives (December 21st due date) to encourage feelings of br l brotherhood, love and gentleness toward the new baby.

See there? Bubbe knows what she's doing. And the fact that I can tell Carter "Bubbe's friend painted this," will be the icing on the cake. That's what kids understand. That's what they know.
