I will be a grandmother for the first time
Patricia,

And so, the dreaded grandparent notice. I haven't had the honor of that just yet. These little carrot headed, blue eyed girls are something special. As I look at your mug shot I can see that you might project a similar aura.

You must have parents screaming for these
Sharon,

To my eye, I think the one you mention is the best. There is a certain simplicity of design, and charm about it. If I attempt this painting I think I would reverse the bear, as I have done below. And thank you for that wonderful compliment.

I do have the gift of making people scream. Parents, children, and especially the many, many ex-wives which populate this great land of ours. Actually only two, but they are particularly gifted screamers. Once again I am reminded of the perfectly composed image below.

Your close up is amazing, I want a new camera now. I can only get close to that quality with 50 ISO, good light, and the highest resolution.
Jean,

This Nikon D70 (and more accurately the larger pixel chip which seems to only come with the digital SLR's) is a low light machine.

I have always pressed these circumstances to their limit and I find that I now have another 30-40% to explore.
