This week, Gail Ingis
writes about her inspiration from fireworks.
Inspired by the fireworks, and my painting project of Coney Island,
I’m writing a few memories. Those fireworks bring back more than
memories.
Inspired by the fireworks, and my painting
project of Coney
Island, I’m writing a few memories. Those fireworks bring back more than my
youth at the beach. They bring up the history of our freedom and the celebration
of it all.
