Many years ago, as part of "Barnes", we had a Gallery. I filled it with Folk Art paintings, wooden toys, Wind Driven Whirygigs, Jewelry, Stained Glass, Carved Glass, knives, furniture, Ironwork, .... you know .... stuff.



I also made a few signs to grab public attention, for the gallery. (BTW- it was in a couple of blocks of restored 18th and 19th log, brick, and wood Row Home's in Frederick Maryland. It became a sort of Art community. We put a few up of the signs we have saved, in the lower shop today.

Was I prescient .... a regular seer of things to come? Yessss .....

Thanks Bob!

Did you know his sketch of "Stairs" was inspired by following me around my Maryland Shop one day. Really.
