Dear Tom,
Please accept my congratulations to being published. As I read through your article, I had to agree with you that one can learn a great deal from reading through books, yet one can learn volumes from fellow artists, especially those who are further advanced in skill.
I also find that being recognized as a master by your contemporaries is the ultimate sense of accomplishment. After all, when the competition takes off its hats, it must be quite a statement!
