My brother John, the artist, and dear Karen Sue.

John is a renaissance man, highly educated, extremely well read, versed in politics, a writer, and full of charm. He took up the art of wire-wrapped gemstones and they are beautiful to behold.

John travels to juried art shows in the midwest, based out of Springfield, Illinois. He invited family and friends who had the time to come by to this weekend’s show at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. We came by!

Karen picked up a few things as gifts for others and just a pair of earings for herself. I admired the artisans craft and the setup of his display.

It was nice to see my brother, to keep in touch. Family does matter. While we were there, our son Chris and his bride Jennie came by. Small world.

If you’re interested, John’s website shows his work.

Safe travels to you, John!
