you know what is one of the best things about gather? the more we know each other, the more we care. i have made so many friends on gather - and met some in real life. we all exchange emails, virtual hugs, and share our lives. it is glorious!
one of the benefits of publishing a website is that you can match opportunities and friends. on our travel website, we have a monthly artisan of the month, and photographer of the month. this month, we are highlighting friends from gather as both of those features (photog of the month is joel carillet, august 15th)!!
one of my oldest friends here on gather is bill's spirit. we've all been lucky enough to see his digital art floating around gather. did you also know that he's a talented painter? once i found that out, i asked him if we could feature him as artisan of the month, and our collaboration outside of gather started...
i am lucky enough to have one of his paintings grace my walls (i also have a matching pair of ludo's paintings!)...
and, i'd like to share bill's feature as our august artisan of the month, on our site.
go to http://www.wanderingeducators.com - and you'll see bill and his ART right in front of you. isn't this cool??
and, you'll find the background behind his art, and some of his other artistic creations...
if you want to leave a comment to support bill, you'll have to register as a user (free). the registration bug has been fixed, so you're good to go...
with gather, and old friends, you never know what will happen...

ok, maybe not. just reading that wonderful interview and looking at bill's amazing artwork was reward enough. how intoxicating it is to have so many great friends here and see them helping each other.
by the way, jessie, what a great site! thanks for the link.
ps. but if anyone suggest a group hug i may have to hunt them down...
No matter
Please tell bill the paintings are great.
and yes, bill is so great - his art is so beautiful, and he's such a thoughtful man.
The website looks fabulous, and you did a wonderful job on Bill's interview and layout for the artwork. We can't thank you enough...You Rock, my friend....
After I move, I'll be traveling and after that, relatives will be in the area. I'm likely to be somewhat scarce on Gather through September.
donna - thanks for trying. that system is whack, we're working on it. sigh!
and yes, kathryn, barbary is our sailing editor at wanderingeducators.com! isn't that TOO FUN?
Nice reading you again, darlin'. I'll have to go checkout Bill's work soon. Thanks for the insight.
It's such an honor; and I'm stumbling a bit from all the attention.
I'm elated to hear that so many people seem to like my artwork.
Thanks to all of you; especially those I haven't heard about for such a long time.
Peace and Blessings to all !!
It really makes me feel good to hear other people say that they like the stuff I create.
Thanks So Much!!
Mona -- How Could You !?!?!!
Just kidding. Thanks for putting that out there for me. I'd have done that myself except I'm pretty shy about that kind of stuff. My Best to You.
