Thanks, Chris,

I, too, am hopeful that this will lead to some commisssions. I have learned that nothing can take the place of putting paintings on walls with one exception. The reaction of a successful painting and a happy client.

John,,

I'm very impressed with the solidarity of the forms in this portrait. The color, too, is very convincing. It sounds like you did a great job of winning over the husband! That in itself is an accomplishment.

Thanks, Alex,

You always seem to pin point my goals. I very much wanted to feel as if I could reach out and wrap my hands around the subject. I hope that's what you meant by your comment of solidarity.

I wish I had a video of the husband going from wall to wall placing the painting for effect. He seemed like a kid with a new toy. It was very rewarding.
