Do you remember the painting of the children and the Chinese lanterns? The way he captured the light just blew me away.

Yes, how can I forget the painting of the children and lanterns. I learned in DC that JSS's luminescent paintings must be viewed in person for a thrill to the eye and internal senses.

As I was leaving the museum, I bought a beautiful book of color photos of all his paintings. I gave it as a gift to a relative for Christmas. Now, I wish I had bought one for myself.

Oh, well, I can always pick one up when I attend the March for Justice III, lol.
