Artist's Description
This print is limited will be deleted after 5 more editions.
This is my uncle Charles Peterson, a happy soul who found his old straw hat while beach combing. In the words of his daughter, and my cousin, Mary Jane, "Daddy

'Then there's the wonder of my Eyes, Where hills and houses, seas and skies, In waves of light converge and pass, And print themselves as on a glass, Line, form and color live in me, I am the Beauty that I see, Ah! I could write a book of size About the wonder of my Eyes,...."The Wonderer" by Robert Service
Charles Munn replied:
Sweet! Thank you, Mary Jane.
