customer satisfaction

We received this nice photo and email from a satisfied collector of GOING TO GOA | paintings by scott morgan this morning. I wish Scott could see how cool his book looks on this fan’s coffee table! He is hangin’ in there but his vision is not what it was now. Maybe it’s even better…The reason I say that is over the weekend he saw some interesting things.

independence daze

yippee sippy
