Great news, Thomasin! Congratulations - it's a beautiful piece.

Yup, bad economic news this morning. I wonder: since our clientele is often the more affluent, well-to-do among us, does an economic downturn affect our business that much? - ( I don't know because I'm only now getting my work out there ). I also wonder - do any of the major portrait brokers reveal statistics on year to year revenues?

That's a wonderful painting Thomasin, congratulations! It is certainly worthy in any collection; it would strongly catch my eye too.
