Hello from Texas.

[Wilma Hill]

What a wonderful warm response thank you all very much!

Mike I am familiar with Crockett have always wanted to go up there to the Old Time Fiddler's Reunion but so far haven't made it. The fish are still biting good in the Lake although I don't fish anymore. Have many Bass tournaments here.

Kimberly I am a transplanted Texan having been born and raised on a ranch in Montana so I get mixed up on different areas of Texas also but I believe Fort Davis is in West Texas, I am in East Texas about one hundred fifty miles from the Louisiana border and one hundred miles north of Houston.

David I never tire of learning something new. It's always a very happy experience.

Steven you are living in the part of Texas I just love, the Hill Country. It is so beautiful over there.

Again thank you all for your warm welcome and very generous and kind remarks.

Same here. I grew up ranching and logging in the Flathead, west of Kalispell. Glacier Park view from the house.

Welcome, Wilma. More education happens here than can be found in any art school. Nice portraits, BTW. The graphite is a very sweet drawing. Always fun to meet other graphite artists.

[Wilma Hill]

My goodness Steven, this is like old home week. You do know the country then and it's so beautiful over there. Logging is the main industry here in the Pointblank area. I also spent ten years in Alaska, over three of that was out in the "bush".

Patricia, how great! I will go look at your work, have been concentrating on the oil threads for the past three weeks. I hope to see more of you.

John, and welcome to you too. Thank you very much. I have started my first layers portrait and I am struggling. One thing to read and observe, quite another thing to do it.

Dear Wilma,

Welcome, and I look forward to seeing more of your lovely drawings (and color work as well).

Yes, now that Linda is out of town for a few days, we should make the party arrangements now. I'll bring a caviar torte and a nice Chardonnay.

Thankyou very much Chris. I have been making it a point to check out the threads on everyone who has posted here and the talent is overwhelming! This is a one of a kind site, that's for sure.

Wilma
