The Owens' by Mystic Moon-light

It is not ofter that I get to see one of my paintings hanging in a patron's home.  With Mystic Moon IV, not only did I get to see, we helped with the initial hanging and there was a lavish cocktail party to celebrate.  Thank you Linda and Bill for giving Mystic Moon IV a loving home, for the wonderful welcome home party and for being great friends and traveling companions extraordinaire.
