Michele,
How wonderful for you! You must be over the moon. I hope this is just the beginning of a long series of signed and deposited checks.
I had a picture taken for the local newspaper similar to the one of you in front of the painting, I was wearing jeans, holding a brush, etc. I remember holding my stomach in until it was touching my backbone. I thought I looked pretty terrific. I did not realize until the picture had come out in the paper that the blasted photographer had taken the picture with a wide-angled lens. I was horrified, I looked like a hippo! People called up to congratulate me on the article and somehow felt impelled to ask if I had put on weight!
