The title reference, 'THOUGHTFUL TIMES',

  represents  reliance on intelligence (as opposed to mere habit and custom) 

in attending creative needs and talents.

This trust (and this company) began even before it was possible to make

'fine art giclee prints',

when but a few brave souls dared move beyond outgrown standards.

It was Meda Jeannine who broke through those restrictions, I'm sure,

the night she brought to my home on the Big Fork River

shoe boxes full of (not good quality) slides of many of her early paintings,

insisting we could fix missing, smudged, faded parts on my computer.

Almost a week later, as Meda Jeannine finished her painting of my river

(which scene she immediately found more inviting than computer tedium)

and my computer was shut down by a thunder storm,

I drove her home, not yet confident I could oblige expectations.

As final proofs were indeed impressive, however, fellow artists

began bringing their artwork - with expectation, likewise, of 'perfect' prints.

By now we've learned (together) the new requirements of 'fine art' printmaking,

 also how re-creating fine art still requires collaborative painstaking work

of skilled uncompromising artist and skilled uncompromising printmaker.

(So it is that we became 'Thoughtful Times Fine Art Company'.)
