Tom took us for pizza today, with a wonderful view of the city. Then we visited two artist colonies, where the artists both work and sell their paintings. We fell in love with a giant painting at the first gallery, entitled, "Holy Family." This isn't THE holy family, but rather, a godly family, according to the artist, Richard. The mother has a new, nursing baby and is receiving visitors who are bringing her gifts. Her children are having a quarrel at her feet, but as Richard says, the fracture will soon be resolved and they will quickly return to being a happy and loving family again. We are seriously considering purchasing this painting!
