Once again thank you for your wonderful responses.

Tim, what can I say? I was so thrilled by your response to the painting yesterday when you stopped by.

Thanks for your generous remarks regarding my teaching. Although, I am very happy about the progress I have been making in my own work, I'm far more satisfied about the terrific quality of work that's being generated by my students. Anyone who is a parent can appreciate where I'm coming from. Somehow the satisfaction grows geometrically.

I'm particularly thrilled with the artist you are becoming. One day, If I'm lucky, I may be remembered as Tim Mensching's teacher.

One of your best, Marvin. I really love the dress.

Shocking!
 

Shockingly Beautiful!

When the page opened I felt a shock in my entire body. It is absolutely breath taking and so much more. There are no words to describe how amazing this is!

Beautiful!
 

Beautiful piece Marvin! I was particularly impressed with the realism of the dress.

My wife saw this painting, slapped me on the back and proclaimed,"Now that's how natural looking flesh tones should be painted."

Mere words are not adequate to describe the beauty of this painting.

Thank you one and all for your generous praise. I never expected such an overwhelming response. I always try to give my best effort in whatever I do and it's so satisfying to receive this kind of feedback.

Marvin, as I told you before, this painting leaves me breathless. I know how much work you put into this and how your drive for excellence pushed you to complete the best painting possible. The story behind this painting and its unequaled beauty will stay with me as a lesson in what can be achieved.

Wow.

I do not have anything different to say than anyone already has, but I wanted to congratulate you. Amazing.

Whoa!
 

Wow, Marvin! This is a first prizer, a people's choice! Really splendid!

Thank you. You're compliments are much appreciated.

Cathy have you ever considered becoming a judge?
