Hello, Roberto--dear friend! I am honored to be invited to visit your blog. Yes, turning grief to gratitude is a wise response to the loss of Susan, whom I miss every day. She was my most faithful follower on Facebook, so I frequently get to "hear" her voice anew with the memories that Facebook proposes for me to share again. In a memory for today from 6 years ago, she was obediently (at my request) talking me out of riding my bike to work. :-)

Roberto, I am so please at how you are turning your pain into gratitude. Susan would love that!
She would be thrilled to see herself remembered with the lovely bench sitting in the park she was so proud of. Her work and her love live on.

Susan brought many friends into your life, but you brought us into Susan’s. I still see her in my Minnesota kitchen and the fun we have all had in California, New York and Maryland.

Daniel and I are excited to follow your blog.

  Roberto has been pestering the ‘Marketing’ staff here at Art and Soul for some time now to get together with ‘Research and Development’ to come up with a fun way for him to share all the great work out there of all the many other talented muralists and artists he's been "influenced by" over the years. ‘Sales’ was totally against the idea! ("How could that possibly improve the bottom-line?!"). ‘Marketing’ remains split, as usual ("We need more data"). ‘R&D’ thought it might be a fun way to "show off a little", and to showcase all those great ideas they keep finding out there on the internet. ‘HR’ said it might be a good way to keep 'The Crew' distracted ("Since they are all so bored since Covid hit, and Roberto is spending more and more time in his studio working on all those silly little easel paintings").
'The Crew' said: ’'Sure, We've got nothing else going on …but only if we get to share stuff about technique, materials, and equipment." ‘Receivables’ said: "It obviously won’t make more work for us, so why not!". 'Legal' said: "No Way! You are NOT going to reveal where you steal all your ideas from!" (Although Roberto values their legal advice, He rarely listen’s to their hysterics anyway). So... here we are! Welcome!

‘Duit-On-Mon-Dai-Luna-Prime’
     "As the title implies, I will post once a Month (on the first Monday, more or less). Feel free to leave a family friendly comment. Dialogue and praise is encouraged. Creativity, passion and wonder should be expected. Politics and personal grievances hopefully kept to private emails. And please… no Whining! and no sales pitches either (you can make your own damn blog for that).
   I expect to start becoming a little more savvy with all this social media stuff, but for now ‘Bookmark’ my website and check back every once in a while. I hope you will find it interesting. Don’t be too persnickety over my whimsical spelling and creative punctuations either, my Editorial Department is not what it used to be… I am seriously understaffed these days."
Peace and Love...
-Roberto Quintana, WFA
