Thank you for your kind words.

It is really hard to say how long it takes me to paint a picture. Sometimes there are long drying times between layers. Sometimes I get stuck and turn the painting to the wall and don't look at if for months at a time while I work on other paintings. When I take on a commission, I tell the client not to expect it for at least a year...

I work in many layers (on a dry surface). My website has a technical info. section for other artists and various posts here on the forum pretty much explain how I paint.
