Ooooooo would you look at that, I think the old Vic would look great in those colours. I don't know if you noticed but there is four colours involved. Three are obvious, but many may not notice some of the details have been picked out in red.

Simply gorgeous.

It's the "what will be" dreams that keep us going on the really bad days, I think.

I have a whole folder of pictures that if I'm having one of those "ugh" days, I open it up and I'm smiling in no time.

Long time off before I ever see it? Who cares! :teasing-neener:

It's possible, and that's all that matters.

More fallout...

One step ahead, two steps back. You've been through a lot with the storm damage and I can only imagine the stress and paperwork involved. I hope it doesn't discourage you too much.

It's even more difficult when those you entrusted with your future sold you and their integrity in the same poor bargain..... I am so sorry to hear this! Just remember, that building wouldn't have fared as well as it did without your help!

A hard decision indeed, and hopefully one that will pay off in other matters that need tending so it will ease the sting.

I wish you both the best in your days to come.

Daniel, sorry to read your selling off cupolart. You did so much work to keep it a viable building. I certainly hope who ever bought it will keep the integrity of the period building. From the pics you have posted of the DT core, the building would sorely be missed as part of the DT fabric.

Congratulations on the quick sale!!

And my sympathies as well. I know how saddened you are - your heart & soul were in Cupola Art from the beginning.

Looking forward to hearing about your next dream / plan. It's sure to be a grand one!
