Dear Sharon,

Thank you so much for the post.

You are too kind.

I think that the watercolors make me really work, but it is very satisfying. It is very similar to what I paint on porcelain so it is perhaps easier for me, and yet, it dries very quickly here in Texas, so I have to learn to deal with that. A good mister, and lots of fluffy strokes working from the light back toward the darks and adding water to keep the edges from forming helps a lot in the skin work. Thank you again, Sharon.

Dear Marvin,

Thank you for the post. I hope that you know that I think that you are one of the greatest artists that there is today. Your portraits look real. One day I do hope to retire (in 2007) and then get the honor of taking a class or watching a demo of yours. Thanks again, Marvin.
