Thanks from Chicago!




Thank you all so much for your wonderful support. This was a huge surprise to me getting this. I am amazed that Dan chose my painting over so many amazing pieces of art at this show...

It was a very emotional evening for me up there...

What an inspiring weekend... saw loads of Sargents and other great pieces of artwork at the Chicago Museum of Art.

I will post my painting when I get home as I am on dial up internet access here.

Home tomorrow night and then back on the road Thursday to Washington DC to meet most of you... I can't wait!!!!!

Best
Tony

Congratulations Tony!

Is the show online somewhere? The gallery it is being held at is only showing a few pieces of the better-known artists like D. Greene and Weistling. I'd love to see it all!
