of East Hampton (in calendar year 2005 two-thousand+five), New York, USA
for their daughter          Jenny Netzer          (and their son-in-law          Ellis Seidman          's home).

37" x 25" acrylic and ink on hand-made mulberry paper.  

"Jenny's Frigate Bird is simply breathtaking and by its gentle power, will define the place in our house
where we spend most of our waking hours.  We have waited 4 years to find the right visual statement
for this central space and who would have expected that it would find us?!"

[Meaning that mother-in-law Carol very thoughtfully commissioned this work from the artist herself, saying:
"My daughter, Jenny, we call her our 'modest mogul,' has _EVERYTHING_ _EXCEPT_ a painting _YOU_ painted!"]
