I've never made a secret of my admiration of Jimmie's work, and in particular, his portrait of Hacel, which really spoke to me. I love the subtle drama, and the slight tension in her pose.

A few weeks ago, I contacted Jimmie and asked if he would be willing to sell it. He agreed, and I was surprized to learn that this was his first sale.

The drawing arrived today, and I am more than delighted. So is my wife. My modest art collection isn't quite so modest anymore.

Thanks very much, Jimmie.
