Sir Roger,

Isn't Branka the one that gave you that name? Thanks for this post.

Thank you for your post here Myrna.

The Sir thing came from Branka and our lovely Angel loving friend in France, Sarah Pritchard.

I still miss my chats with Brankas son Luka too.


Oh Roger we must continue calling you Sir Roger, it keeps them both alive, on here. I have seen Sarah on Facebood several times, very seldom does she come on ALP anymore. And Luka, I have missed that guy since he stopped coming to ALP. He is such a sweetie, just like his Mom Branka. He came from good stock.

Here we are from all around the planet and we love one another so much, that when something happens to one of us, we are all upset. Now, tell me how we ever got into so many wars! It surely is proof to me that their is an evil power. But thankfully we can over come it all with LOVE, because the dark cannot stand the love, so we need to love them too.

You are so right Myrna.

Most wars are caused by fear. Fear of change is the biggest of all.

If only people would look at their history. Most nations have been made greater by embracing change and by embracing the best of their neighbour's culture.

Christian Seybold

1690 - 1768

.The above is a self portrait of the artist.

Painted in oil on copper this painting shows the fine smooth finish typical of German art at this time.

Seybold painted self portraits throughout his career. There are many fine examples.

This self portrait is awesome, Roger. So many great artists we don't even know about. To me, it was a surprise to learn he lived nearly 300 years ago. I will try to make a research on him and his work, but most of the time we don't even have enough time to do any such researches (sorry about the redundances).
