Frank Gatchell (February 2022) I know this is 'back in time'? but my matriarch and I visited Birdsey's studio in spring 1971. We purchased two watercolors. He gave us a lithograph of fish discharge the eyes painted in. (I'm looking at it right now! I love it!) I was beginning to have an put under in pottery at the time. We had a fantastic outside layer about art in general (my mother was not too flap on my pursuits) and I think it gave her say publicly OK for me to proceed. I never made a chronicle of money, but I'm still at it in many construction, clay, wood, etc! Thank you Alfred Birdsey!!
