Simbari Diaries - A 50 Year Adventure

Introducing how Nicola’s paintings “speak” to me  - - -  How the poetry of other writers have expressed [to me] some of the extra-ordinary magic in 
Nicola’s Art . . .

** Beautiful Colors, a touching poem by Annette Frisby is a compliment to this “concept” . . . Thank you Annette
