Dear Enzie,

Thanks for the kind note! I had a wonderful time, and appreciated the professionally organized program. You have really pulled together a solid group of strong painters, and it is obvious how much interest there really is in a portraiture venue in southern California.

And what a fantastic facility! In these two photos of the Community Center, you can see the high (maybe 18-20'?) ceilings, and the soft directional natural lighting that is available. In the view from behind our model, you can also see the window shades, which can be handled independently for the many-windowed wall. You can also see Enzie and Ruth measuring. And looking serious about it, too.
