Thank you Ngaire,

I am thrilled to hear someone can actually see progress in my work that coinsides with the progress that I know I am making in my head.

Words can not express how much Marvin has helped me over the year and a half that I have known him. The two weeks I spent with him in Vegas were priceless. Because I was the hostess for that workshop (and therefore he was my guest) I was present for the non stop information that comes out of his mouth both in and out of the studio. I joke about it but it is true..... Marvin IS an encyclopedia of portrait related material....... unfortunately, he is also a TALKING encylcopedia. I am poking fun at my dear friend, but to be serious, the man does not stop providing information about anything relating to painting and I loved every minute of it.

Thanks again for your kind remarks.
