Garth-

I realize this sentiment is no consolation but I wanted to add my continued congratulations. It is always a mystery as to the final judging and what sways the votes. I do think David is right especially in this case. I also would like you to know that your work is truly worthy of this level and you (as well as many others on this sight) are an inspiration.

I will always paint because I am compelled to. You and others keep the banner flying while others, like myself, tread the path that you cut.

Please keep us informed of those others who dwell outside of our conection here and in PSOA. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
