Subject: RE: AMERICAN ATTACKS**PART ELEVEN: Long Haul
I did a WTC disaster painting 5 years ago and forgot all about it until the person who bought it emailed me today.

A 16 sq.ft painting of exploding skyscrapers with an F16 and hands reaching toward heaven has caused the buyer to email me after all these years. I put it on ebay 5 years ago entitled 'Horrendous Horrible Awful Horrific Painting'. Here is here email from today:,,,,,,,,,

Well, well, well! Who would have thought that your "Tidal Wave" painting, complete with airplane, would providentially capture what has transpired??? I just realized this AM while passing it, that the upreaching hands, the towers (imagine!), the entire maelstrom of it all not only illustrates, but eerily mirrors all the horrific images shown on the news channels. WOW! When the timeliness of the painting slapped me with the "AHA!" Syndrome, I got goosepimples. Anyway, I've upgraded (retitled) the work from "Tidal Wave" to "Whirl Trade." Got to go--can't write because my goosepimples are getting in the way. Best regards, Jonie
