Very candid, very original in the pose as well as the composition. And the colour handling is very successful. Congratulations!

cool Fantastic!!!

Kim, I have yet to formally meet you, (I think Linda Brandon and Chris Saper have.) Anyway, I KNOW I'd like you. This is just wonderful and AND it gives me 1000 ideas for my trip to California and San Diego, camera clicking away! You are a real inspiration. Thank you for posting this! It's wonderful.

Thank you for such kind words Garth. I dont have another workshop planned, but I loved teaching the one I did. Tell you what, you come on down and I will get some students rounded up and I can pretend to teach while we really watch you paint.

Carlos & Marina, thank you so much! Carlos, I honestly dont know what kind of tobacco was in that cigarette...I wont speculate. That can be a mystery for the viewer.

Carol - we definitly have to meet someday! I know I would like you as well and I always love it when you comment on my pieces - thank you!

Kim--

We've come to count on terrifically original concepts from you, presented with great technique. This is one of my favorites now!

Best--TE

Yep, this is my favorite also. . But don't I say that about each one you do? : )
Gee, that means I said it yesterday, or was it this morning? You paint so fast I can
hardly keep up.

This is my new favorite of your paintings, too. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
