Carol,
You are too kind. Thank You. If I inspire anyone it's because I have been inspired by so many here. For years I have worked at this and have shifted my efforts in "high gear" over the past year. I study paintings of other atrists "daily" (old and new), visit the museum frequently , taking pictures, making notes and painting from life weekly. I am doing alot of "studies" these days; paintings of just the eyes, nose, mouth and hands to try to see the simplicity of the features rather than the complexity of them. That's what I am trying to accomplish in these that I am posting.

Thanks again!
