among the wonderful gifts was a lovely response from Mariana (John's daughter) in the form of a drawing... a selection of music from John as well as a terrific book and coasters from MOMA ..

I completed six fairy/ballerina panels last week and will be painting six more this week..
yesterday I took some photos of the ballet studios (still under construction)
the panels will be attached up high like a frieze around the walls ...
