Jimmie, thank you very much. I must admit I am more comfortable with pastels so I am pushing myself to "brush up" (pun intended) on my oils. I've been more excited about that since I discovered the gessoed board. Seems whether it's a commission or personal painting, it's all practice to me. I suppose my clients are lab mice. Don't know if I will ever "arrive." We'll see if we all live long enough.
Thank you, Garth (Jerome). One of these days I am going to loosen up a little and see what kind of train wreck I can create.
I really appreciate your responses as I sincerely admire the work both of you do.
