Garth, well thank you for the compliment! I am going to have to come take vocabulary lessons from you. You always seem to have such eloquent posts. I bet if you wanted to tell me the painting looked like dirt you would find a way of saying it that would make me proud to hear it.
Thanks for the competition thoughts. We'll see...
Alexandra, thank you for your confidence. I'm getting closer to giving it a shot. It just seems to be too simple of a portrait for such a large competition. Hmmm.
Molly, thanks! Okay, the peer pressure is working. Hope I didn't insult anyone by callilng you peers. You are all so talented. Now I am thinking I might pop for the entry fee.
Thanks!
