Minor correction to this posting: the St. Sebastian piece is not in the collection of the Kennedy’s — it is still available. Shannon and Kathy Kennedy own “The Passion of St. Sebastian” — a different painting. Thanks.
Thanks for the correction, Bruce. I will make the correction on the post.
Jim — just happened to browse Transpositions and noticed that the link to my website is non-functional. That may be because I have a new website (same address though).
Cheers,
Bruce
Bruce, thanks for the update. I’ll change the link.
