Bob Putnam passed away a few days ago

Bob Putman passed away a few days ago. Mimi Peterson has written to the blog about him.

Bob was a painter, sculptor, writer, collector of objects and people.

I enjoyed his intellect, friendshhip, and talent. I first met him at

the Artists Breakfast. Later, as members of the 3-D 12 Sculptor Group,

I grew to admire his imaginative sculptural objects. In 2009, still

physically strong, he proposed and curated "Transformations",  a

painting and sculpture exhibition at the Aurora Public Works

Commission Art Gallery.

As a member of 3-D 12 sculptor group, I miss Bob's insightful

critiquing. He saw the world in 2-D and 3-D.
