Just wow.

9. thanks! When I think of Iraq, it usually
isn't about the art. The women there are great as artists. Thanks for the reminder of their lives going on.

10. I'm glad to hear their voices...the paintings do that....give them a voice.
And that others will get to see the paintings...maybe they will hear those voices too.
