They are two of the nicest artists you could ever want to know
When my dad passed away in his belongings was a nude
signed by A.Gormley
Many years later, I was showing an artist friend, Len Slesick, the piece and he said,
"why, that's Amy Winton"
(Gormley was a former name)
What a treasure I had and didn't even know it!
When I first encountered Doug,
he was being featured for his work that included old love letters he had found in the walls of home in Lipscomb County between a Texas woman and her French soldier...
"He was
just looking to gather antique wood from a forgotten farmhouse, but he found so
much more."
When I saw them pull up to 822 today, I could scarcely contain myself!
Oh man...I gotta feelin' this art walk is gonna be good!
we've also been practicing our Hors d'Oeuvres

Wish I was there to enjoy every minute!!
I'm wild with envy and I want to be there! As someone who worked behind the scenes to nurture artists (musical and theatrical) most of my life, I know that nothing is more rewarding. Any chance of seeing a teeny bit of the love letters? ~ Maureen
A truly wonderful story! Their art and the background are very memorable!
Thank you so much for visiting!
