cherokee69, your gallery of still lifes is first rate. I wish my mother could still see well enough to see the one with the quilt...that was her favorite hobby until macular degeneration stole it away. Having such a competition is not a bad idea at all. Dave, don't give up. Sometimes you have to introduce an idea more than once to get it to take. We can't be the only ones who would like to see some diversity in subject matter explored.
