Hi Allan,

Welcome to the Forum, from another newcomer! I really like the way this forum is a true international community of portrait artists. Someday I wish I could visit and see you in the process of thatching roofs. There are no thatched roofs where I am, and I find your introduction fascinating. Even though you say English is difficult for you, I have no way of knowing that because what you have written is perfect.

I love your very vibrant and happy portrait of the girl holding her hat. Your sense of color is wonderful and I think you have a very strong painting. Is this your daughter?

Thanks for introducing yourself and your beautiful portrait. I believe you will get a warm response from all. Welcome aboard! I want to see more of your painting and perhaps an example of your roofs.

Garth
