      Thank you so very, very much for visiting and writing such kind and very supportive words!
      Thank you also for thinking of me and my fellow Bostonians. To lift our spirits we are singing "Dirty Water" by the Standells!
      Take care my artist buddy and thank you so much!

  2. Nice tribute Michael.
    It says a lot, a salute to so many. I like the never give up spirit.
    So glad they caught the second suspect. I'm sure Boston's best, along with the FBI and others, were working around the clock to find them.
    This can only help the healing.

    1. Hello David!
      Thank you so much for your tremendous support buddy!
      Thank goodness the second suspect was caught. So much tension all over Massachusetts!
      We are such a small and rather congested state that everyone here knows somebody who has been affected by the tragedy!
      I have so much respect for law enforcement and first responders. We all know they run towards danger and not away!
      Take care and thanks David!

      I am sorry your heart is broken. I know the feeling very well. Let's hope with time we will feel better. So very sad that this wonderful country of ours has had to spend so much time lately trying to heal. I know we Americans are a strong and loving people and we will not only survive but triumph!

      Hugs are so very important and uplifting!

      Thank you!
      I tried to paint but couldn't. Making the collage helped me to look at all the images, deal with the tragedy and try to make some art out of them.
      We need to hear "Beautiful!" over and over again!
      Thank you so very, very much!
      Boston Proud! USA!

  7. Hi Michael, with all the images you've included in your lovely collage you've created a very rich expression of what is in your heart. It's a great tribute. Nice to see Robert De Castella and the flags there too.
    Take care,
    Wendy

  8. Michael, your collage pulled beauty from something horrendously ugly. The Bostonians were truly heroic in their response. The abominable act did bring every American together. But I'd rather events like this never happen and kinship prevailed on its own.

  9. Hello My Art Buddy Linda!
    You are so right about kinship prevailing without tragedy!
    Thank you so much for stopping by and writing your wonderful supportive words!
    I am following your blog and always wishing you the best!
    I am looking forward to seeing more of your colorful paintings soon!
    Take care Linda and thanks again!
