      I’ve got a C19th oil painting of some trees in winter. It’s seriously creepy. I thought of that when I read this.

    Loved it. It was a very common thing for artists to use a canvas several times before creating their so-called masterpiece. Interesting story Miss W. Love the spooky.

      Hello, Northern Girl. Yes, makes you wonder about old canvases, doesn’t it? Just think, all those artists starving in their garrets and going bonkers on absinthe…there must be quite a few haunted paintings out there.

      @missworm Thank you. Honestly, no. My truck's frame rusted through in 3 spots and cannot be repaired. I'm out in the country, so there's no way to take public transportation or walk for anything....Due to this, I cannot get to physical or occupational therapy. To say it's a battle to get through most days is an understatement. How are you? I hope that things are going well for you. I listened to episode 2 before this one. For some reason, it will not let me comment. I can't wait for the next episode to air!! You truly have a wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing it!! Take care.
