The poem in this book was written by me, and the artwork is also mine. I paint with the signature "Spute," which was my maiden name. My artwork can be seen on the website www.sputefineart.com. The paintings in this book are mostly mixed media (oil, acrylic, and ink). Titles of other books by this author: "Just for the Summer" (a hospital memoir) "Love Is in This Room"(a memoir of teaching special kids) "A Walk from the Sea" (a collection of poetry and paintings)
