Later I was able to track down another, signed copy for my boyfriend - now husband. Together we have loved his work and collected a few of his seriographs. I was happy when he started to gain in popularity recently - although I have to say it was mixed because I always felt like I wasn't sure if I wanted share him. Funny how that works.<BR/>Thanks for the nice post about a wonderful naturalist and artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
