Any explanation?

When I closed my shop we eventually lost contact, but she made an indelible impression on me, and I only wish I'd gotten to know her better. RIP to a tough old broad and to a sweet and gentle woman----there was no contradiction there in Lida's case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951361.post-47122179867349144172014-08-13T09:33:45.171-04:002014-08-13T09:33:45.171-04:00Lida was passionate and warm, but oh, watch out - ...Lida was passionate and warm, but oh, watch out - also fiercely outraged by any nastiness or pettiness. She was honest and humble, patrician as only an artist can be - without a trace of snobbery. Whenever I walked into her apartment there was Pavarotti filling the air with beauty; he was always there, like an aroma. And there was her darling Melissa, the dog who adored not only Lida - the two were symbiotic - but all of her friends (which meant everyone, as far as Melissa was concerned). Melissa was also the smartest dog in the world. <br />Lida was beautiful like no one I have ever met.

Her pictures are beautiful, historical, memorable and a keen reflection of the intellect and spirit of this wonderful woman.<br /><br />gene klnstantaolnoreply@blogger.com
