Mrs. Mendoza, 1972

What to Say or Send
A few respectful suggestions from the artist himself

You can express friendship or affection with a phone call, an e-mail, or a sweet, red rose. But when you present your good wishes by means of a fine-art Strathmore greeting card, you will be putting your pen to some rather expensive paper. Bud therefore suggests that you write out a draft. He offers these brief words to get you started.

May sweet memories—and the love of family and friends—bring you comfort and peace.
