Thank you Jean and David. I am leaving my office "day job" feeling more like a portrait artist. Really appreciate your very generous remarks

Patricia,

You have done a wonderful job on this portrait. I especially like the simple masses of color, black and white, blue and flesh color. And the variation of edges, sharp and soft.

In many years from now, after you have been very clever and famous, you will return to this simple concept of two colors and a delicate line that vanish and appears.

That

Just followed the only rule I remember well,
Keep It Simple Stupid!!!

I guess it works!! Thank you for the kind thought. I like thinking of years from now, looking back at this, as an accomplished artist - what a nice vision to hold

Pat, congratulations! I'm very proud of you!

[Patricia Joyce]

Thanks, Jimmie, you put a smile on my face!!! BTW, a little update, my premature granddaughter now weighs ten pounds and is off the monitor. She's beautiful!!!
