John--
They'll be in the studio until the first week of July. I'll be out next week, but after that, if you're over this way, let me know and you can drop by.
Enzie--
Makes perfect sense. One advantage here was that they were still in baby teeth stage, so they were a little more subtle than now. Artists often make the same mistake with teeth they make with the whites of the eyes, and make them too white.
Another tip about detail I just heard, from Bart Lindstrom, and it's great. He said if you can squint something out in what you're viewing, you should be able to squint it out in your painting too.
Linda--
Thanks so much! It was great seeing you in Philadelphia. Let me know if you come east again...
