I looked up Waldo and found this interesting article on him that focuses on his 4 wives and how they shaped his art: https://www.portlandmonthly.com/portmag/2018/08/so-much-more-than-waldos-wives/
Thanks for sharing- interesting article. I hadnt seen that.
You’re welcome. I just finished reading it. He sure had an interesting life.
Artists seem to lead interesting lives.
I never cease to be amazed at how I come back to this stuff and see something new – obviously as an adult. I do remember the Cyprus moment.
