Wow! This is also an awesome blog Sandy!

Have you and Lori been teaming up? I am seeing a very common theme here. This is good stuff here. I will have to spend some more time on this as well.

Thanks!

Well bless you Michael...you're really just too kind.  Really.  No, Lori and I didn't know anything about the other's post, but I too, did see that common thread, and took it as a confirmation from the Lord that His Word and message were being addressed.  So...now that is something for all of us to dwell upon as we say our "now I lay me down to sleep" prayers tonight!

In Christ's love,
Sandy

First: About the artist - Dorsey!

Dorsey used to come in to our restaurant during the 1970's on Cape Hatteras, NC.  We owned the General Billy Mitchell Restaurant, which my Mom renamed The Seashell.


Dorsey was a long haired freaky hippy guy that we all loved.  He had a gentle, quiet spirit and was an excellent artist.


His work, mostly seascapes, sells for top dollar on the Outer Banks, but this is a "doodle" that he carried around in his pocket and worked on as he'd wait for his breakfast and drank his coffee.


He gave this to me, which I gladly accepted.   It's titled: Second Thoughts.  (actually to increase the price of this original...note that he misspelled "thougths".

Now, here is what an "islander" friend of mine posted about Dorsey:

THATS COOL. The next time Dorsey comes to see me I'm gonna show this to him. He'll get a kick out of how you described him! (which is perfect) and hes still the same. MS

Thanks Melodi, and please let Dorsey know how fond we in my family all were and are, of him.

Tell him my Mom died on July 11, 2006 (7/11 for those who like to roll dice, and she did enjoy the casinos), and she never forgot the positive affects that Dorsey had on each of our lives. Mom really liked him to the very end of her days.

She and I really appreciated all those special moments we all shared on Hatteras during those years when our lives came together and touched.

Hi Lori,

thanks for the suggestion on the shadow box.  I'll check it out.  I know that when I scanned this in, I was going for the old treasure map look, with the tattered edges.

Any which way, Dorsey is now a very prominent artist, who commands a very high price to obtain his works.  I am very honored to have this "doodle."

Wow Sandy, cool artwork! I really appreciated the blog too, but like Lara, I was totally distracted by thoughts about that artwork. Note for future blogs. No pics! lol
