[Aquanet] Cia's watercolor friends

[miriam]

I love the idea of honoring Cia on a memorial page...but I think the choice of painting may also cause some copyright issues...If it is not a painting that Cia has given Aquanet permission to post on this website in the past then you would need her family to approve the right to post it on the website for the future...don't you agree?

Raymond and others.
I like the simple memorial for Ed West on the web page.  I noticed that we have not done anything for Jeannie Sommers whose beautiful work is in Gallery Three.  Perhaps there should be a Memorial Gallery page.  I don't know if that is feasible, but I do think we need to remember her as well as Cia and Ed.

> Lately Cia began a webgroup called Cia's watercolor friends which some of the Aquanet members might have joined.  She wanted to gather artists to encourage them to sell their works online or otherwise.  Also she felt watercolor was not getting the respect of oil and other media--she wanted to discuss how to get a better place for watercolors. She was very excited about the group and for awhile artists shared ideas and messages.  There was a way to add photos of paintings to share.   As Cia's health deteriorated, she did not have time to keep up the pages. Although I have known Cia online for awhile, during this page, I got to know her much better.   She loved painting and shared her methods and plans.   During the years, she had suffered with illnesses but she always returned to her painting with excitement and energy.  Recently she had problems being outside but she would wrap herself up to protect her skin from light and go outdoors to paint anyway. 
 She was a  very determined gal and a very inspiring Southern belle.

>   In one of her last messages to me she wrote that her four children were gathering to see her. She was looking forward to singing with them.   Looking back,  I think this mid-August gathering of her family was a sign that her life was ending.  But she was so upbeat in her message to me, that I didn't see it.  I only saw her love of her family.
>  When a person adds a message to the memorial, there is a place to upload a photo.   I don't think the family has upload paintings.   One thing Cia did say to me recently was she was sorry she had sold some of her best watercolors.   Maybe if Aquanet is going to have a page for her, we can gather photos of her best works? She did have a print place where some of her prints were being sold. And her family may have photos?
