When it Rains, it Pours…

R.I.P. Lee Bassen

A dear family friend, Lee, passed away last night. She was a miniature artist (as well as a very talented painter) and a friend of my Mom, Margie and a family friend as well. She was older and in poor health, but she was one of the most talented artists I’ve ever known…whether on canvas or in miniatures, she had the ability to make an entire room come to life. She will be missed.

CSE-111

…I think ‘combat situation’ is putting it mildly.
