The artist Gretchen Dow Simpson in particular. xxo, Sarah http://www.condenaststore.com/-sp/The-New-Yorker-Cover-August-9-1982-Prints_i8481751_.htmSarah Sedwick Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187490026684646976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-14949826512251473072013-02-15T01:07:27.276-08:002013-02-15T01:07:27.276-08:00Thanks for the kind words and for sharing those me...Thanks for the kind words and for sharing those memories, Diana.Don Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497657029761169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-31842660591080693772013-02-15T00:51:35.310-08:002013-02-15T00:51:35.310-08:00This is a strikingly handsome painting.

It makes me think more of Edward Hopper than Michael Landon.<br /><br />We used to live in Oregon in the Willamette Valley and every Friday night at the nearby Grange there was a blue grass jam session. Sometimes there were dances too. Good memories: thanks for the reminder!Diana Moses Botkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254521493118166524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674898426369236660.post-22427846344382251702013-02-14T11:13:31.114-08:002013-02-14T11:13:31.114-08:00Thanks, Rick.

Those were great experiences being among ranch and farm families as they socialized. They (the families) made me feel welcome each time.
