How sad it was to hear of Guitta's death.

I would like to offer a suggestion that, next month, a special case be made, and that the "challenge" consist of a tribute work to Guitta. This may give those who wish and are able a deeper opportunity to express themselves. I'm not sure that "challenge" (ie competition) would capture the spirit properly, so I am imagining in my mind more of a "tribute gallery". Just a thought. I shall not be offering a contribution, as I do not consider mnyself worthy in the Vue sense, but so many fine artists here at Rosity certainly are.

A thought shared: I am not conventionally religious. But: my partner died (drowned) at age 11 and against all odds of miracle actually recovered. She came back knowing things, for a while, that living men and women are "not meant to know". For this reason, I believe (in fact I would venture to say I am certain) that death is not the extinction we suppose and that Guitta continues in some form, a lot less remote than a memory.

much love to her!
