Did you know...Carol Thompson has gained world-wide recognition for her paintings of kite flying scenes?  She got 'hooked' on kites when her husband purchased a set of 6 TRLBY kites to fly on the beach in Oregon while on vacation with their two young sons.  Almost immediately she began painting the beautiful, graceful kites with long streaming tails.  She travelled to Hawaii and Florida and more to kite festivals, where she and Ed flew their kites and gathered research material for future paintings. Her favorite kites are still the diamond shaped TRLBY's with 100' tails.  She and Ed each have a matching stack of eight that they fly together as a team.  Their choreography is "trying to stay out of each others way". It actually looks pretty good.
