Garth! Do you have any more of these treasures stacked around your studio?

If you are doing nothing to get them into the public eye, and people (collector friends) are finding their way into your studio and buying work, then it's a no-brainer that you should be doing more and showing them at one of the top galleries.

Wow, this is a beauty! I love the emotion in the woman's face--it connects right to the boy in a straight, strong beam. It's amazing how little you've really articulated in her face, yet when you stand back the emotion is there. She is definitely the guardian angel. There are so many other interesting things, like the history in her legs--they are a vestige of her attractive young self, sillhouetted against the light. I also like the way the rug makes a strong pointed diagonal in the foreground, and the boy fits his body into the perimeter of the rug, as if this is his space, like a room without walls. I could go on and on, there is so much to look at and appreciate, though it is all subordinated into the main theme, the connection between woman and boy.

Go for it, Garth!
