Believe it or not, I knew a François in high school. Everyone called him Frank (at his request).
Personally, I’m somewhere between a Minimalist and an Expressionist.

Weird . . . I thought I had responded to all these comments while on the cruise, but it looks like only one got through.
I shoot for pointillism but what hair I have left is shooting for minimalist.

Believe it or not, I’ve never known a Francois. But, I have known a Thomas and a Mark. (HA!)
The Artdos are spot on! Snort-laughing here!
Mr. Twain always seems to be spot on, too!

Sorry for the late response. The ship’s internet was pretty crappy with long delays between entries and confirmations. I had responded to all these comments, but not many got through.
Actually, I think Willy is on to something there. I would love to see blinking coins.
Thanks for the wishes and comment.

I’m quite Art Nouveau, but my bad hair days are Abstract Expressionism.
Theodore Roosevelt is spot on with being wise “in time”!
