Jim Konrad, my friend, teacher, and mentor, passed away in May 2011.  He was my first oil painting teacher, and also taught me the art of painting restoration, for which I will be forever grateful.  He will be missed by all who knew him for a long time to come.  Our lives are different because of his presence, and they are different now because his absence. 

Thank you, Jim, for all your lessons, contributions and dedication to art and art teaching.
