Crocus

Last Wednesday the temperatures hit record highs for the season and I noticed the first signs of spring peeking out in my garden:


There was an interesting article in the newpaper yesterday about the Artists group fighting for re-sale rights.

  'In 2003, Charles Pachter painted a vibrant, poppy-red double image of a barn, as seen after the springtime thaw had turned the fields near his rural studio into sodden slicks of melted snow. It was called “Red Barn Reflected,” '  Here is that beautiful painting:



Anyway ' a CARFAC-proposed amendment to the Canadian Copyright Act that would give living artists a five per cent royalty on all sales of their work after its original sale' is under review by a government committee.

My daffodils are growing, and your yellow crocus flowers are beautiful.

I like the new law for living artist to get a portion profit of their work.
