Thanks, Allan and Dan. Dan I will look forward to seeing your drawing. I'm sure it will be beautiful. I work painstakingly slow with light washes of graphite till I feel that I am actually creating real skin, flesh, eyeballs, it's my zen of drawing and I love going there. Let's hope painting will do the same for me!
Allan, a woman who has only meet me a few times saw my granddaughter at a party and when Alex laughed remarked that she looked so much like me. In truth, she has my nose and crinkles into a grin the same way I did at her age, but she has the breathless beauty of her mother's eyes and my son's dimpled chin (in guys it a cleft, I guess). I think she has the best of all of us, but then I am partial
