[Aquanet] The future of this list

[David & Caryl Rojas]

Greetings,
I just read Lorraine's plea not to end Aquanet just because a minimum of 
messages have not been sent recently.  I concur with Lorraine.  Like 
many of us, we are swamped with commissions, family, and trying to 
survive these difficult times as a professional artist, as well as a 
myriad other reasons for not having the time for sending artful 
thoughts.  I must confess that I am one of those subscribers who prefer 
to observe.  Yet, with my morning coffee to sustain me while I am 
reading my e-mail before heading to my studio, I eagerly read from 
Painter's Keys, Wet Canvas, Aquanet, and others in the field that give 
me a boost, and realizing that there are friends in art out there that I 
have never met, held conversations with them, but nevertheless I value 
their existence.  Raymond, thank you for your work for Aquanet...you are 
doing a great job. I vote with Lorraine.
Have a great painting day.
David R. Rojas
