“Angels” is the title of this spectacular painting by Mark Edwin Carlson that is now hanging in the stairwell between the second and third floors. Arlin’s niece Elise gave us the painting in May when we were in Minnesota. We met the artist when we picked it up at his studio in Minneapolis. Arlin had it framed here in California. It’s so big that the stairwell is the only place it fits, but luckily the stairwell is also a great place for showing it — well lit but without direct sun on the picture, and viewable from many angles.

We’re thrilled to have it. Thanks, Elise!
