Artist Lydia Sohlberg Deere

"A work of art is a personal message from soul - to - soul and cannot be made after formulas."

* Note also that the photographs of these paintings were from an inferior camera.  Some were taken on-the-run with Lindsborg owners of Lydia's art  while I was visiting for  a few days to check up on Peaceful Acres ("The Old Deere Farm"), never realizing then that I would be using these photographs on a website later in life.
