I can’t open it for some reason.
Glad we were able to see it at the
Louvre. A crowded roomful of hawkers in silence. The painting was housed inside a glazed box, with everything in low light.
It wasn’t what we expected, but I’m still glad we saw it.
Uncle Cy, I only got to catch up on emails today. What a serendipitous moment. I didn’t know what to expect in opening the file. Seeing the outcome brought both a smile at the playfulness of what you’d done, and that deeper peace that comes from being exposed to creativity. Thanks much for sharing it! What joy you bring people!
When I think about many of your creations over the years, two characteristics jump out throughout. Creativity, of course. And whimsicality. Starting back in the Campbell Methune days, I suppose that was a necessary part of the work. Whimsitivity? I know that doesn’t capture the breadth of it, and I wouldn’t pretend it did, but it is true to say your art brings joy to people. It is as though much of your work, and especially that work which is deliberately both creative and whimsical, is designed to bring out that uniquely joyful laugh that Grandma had when she saw or heard one of us grandchildren do something special, and maybe when she saw you do magical tricks or play the flute or draw.
Dear Cy
What amazing results. THANK YOU for sending this to us!

This is awesome, Cy. 💕
I think you’re on to something. 🐸
