    I'm probably the longest winded...or would that be typed? LOL

    Nope, not Johnny Appleseed. Our man sometimes gets confused for FSK (though why is totally beyond me)....that's clue #2.

    The statue is Orpheus, but the monument upon which he stands honors Francis Scott Key. It is on the grounds of Fort McHenry.

    When the statue was unveiled, the public hue and cry was such that the artist had to fashion fig leaves to cover the god of music's genitalia.

    A buddy at work reminded me of this game, so I thought I'd make a visit to the ghost town that was once Sunspot. Hello to all of you still hiding amongst the tunbleweeds!

    I miss Niamhaine.

    Our handicapped brushman painted this beautiful scene of a very well known landmark in the 1850's. Even though the skyline has changed considerably, it should still be quite familiar to most of you.

    The painting is the view of Baltimore from the top of Federal Hill.
    Most of this gentleman's paintings were from the Massachusetts area where he resided at Duncan Point..
