It is a painting of a mouse and is wirtten on the back "The mouse flapped his arms so hard trying to fly I could see the preliminary pencil stetch under the oil paiting." Can you tell me if this is the same James Michaels as shown at your gallery and if this is a one of a kind paiting or series? Also, the value if known.

He did say something very similar to this statement. I thought it to be a foolish and unprofessional way to describe the law enforcement officers' actions. I do believe he was only refering to the 2-3 officers involved at the scene and not all of the officers in the area. I recall one officer was quoted as having to reload. I do not dispute the outcome of the incident or speak against the use of excessive violence. I wasn't there. Still questions remain about the events. Originally the story claimed that an AK-47 rifle was found near the scene....whose was it? Whose bullets killed who? There are rumors.....

The "dig" was to the many residents of Lakeland I've met who forget they're also part of the county of Polk. Thanks for the comment Nelson…

My husband is Hispanic, (and works for Publix!), so I know they would get our business! Yes, maybe the bakery could provide us with some of those yummy guava pastries all sticky and covered in powdered sugar... mmm, I better go eat something.
