Congrats!

I remember when you painted this one, and it's certainly a favorite of mine. I see your work all the time when I am looking through magazines and online, and am glad your work is getting so much recognition!

Linda, I must have just missed your post a while ago. So sorry! I wasn't ignoring you, I just didn't see it. Thanks, my friend.

Thanks also, Richard and Patty!

Thanks, David! I'll never forget your comparison of this one to Vermeer --your positive response was partially responsible for giving me the confidence to enter this into some competitions.
