I happily voted for this artwork, VIVA. Shame that it was taken down, I once had an image removed from a protest and activism contest because the image was of a bell with the script “Let Freedom Ring”. I guess I was on the wrong political side. Anyway, does not make it any less wonderful.

VIVA Anderson replied:

Thanks, dear John: I SO appreciate your simpatico, your vote, your thoughtful response about being 'removed': You are a great friend and comfort to me:)))).......nothing! can take the joy of the work, the Man/himself,RIP/his memory, BUT !!l lol: I'm mad as hell, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear VIVA~ A very special tribute to someone you shared so many years of your life with. Your husband sounded like a very fine man, with determination and great success despite an unfortunate event as a youth leading to the loss of his right hand. I admire your obvious great respect and love for him, and I'm very saddened that you lost him not that long ago- a real period of adjustment for you now! Life goes by in the blink of an eye!! I send My Very Best to you, and sure like your portrait painting of John. Voted. F&L

VIVA Anderson replied:

Thank you dear Will, for taking the time to 'see' what this artist knew/saw/painted........and so nice for John that you see and feel simpatico, man to man, friend to friend. He actually wanted/ needed to 'go'...over 90 y.o. and v. tired....but won't be forgotten! and that is all one can hope for from friends like you,me,life......This was/is a 'labour of love' longstanding....and I am honoured for your warmth and sharing. Yours most sincerely, VIVA 🙏
