Alexandra,

I found your article very interesting as well and wanted to congratulate you on its publication. I did not know that you did landscape/cityscape's and was pleasantly surprised to see your nice work.

Congrats Alex, I'll pick it up!

Jean

Thank you, Enzie and Jean!

Yes, I do landscapes and cityscapes (so far only of Philadelphia), too, though unfortunately the reproductions in the article are not the best. Glad you liked them, Enzie. I really enjoy painting large aerial views, but I have to take photos from the air and work on the paintings in the studio. To compensate, and to improve my color and get more spontaneous, I've been painting smaller plein aire views. It's a lot of fun.

Congratulations, Alex! I subscribe to this but each issue gets put on my pile of "stuff to read" and it usually takes me about 4 months to get to it. I'll go look at it right away!

I know just what you mean. When I first subscribed to art magazines I rushed to read them, but now I am so busy it takes me a while to get to them. That's what we get for being busy

!

Thanks, Michele.

Let me mention too your lovely full page ad in the January issue of American Art Collector (page 118). I was happy to see it as a refreshing and sensitive portrayal and take pleasure that I'm in communication with that accomplished artist.

May your email basket fill up with communications from exceedingly fat and very hot collectors!

Wow, thanks, Bill! I'm glad to "know" you also--maybe one of these days we will meet in person. And thanks also for those uplifting words about my ad. It is, after all, only an ad that I put there myself. But one of my friends who is a talented designer (she also did my website) designed it and I think she did a great job. It will be interesting to see what happens as a result of the ad. My e-mail and phone aren't jammed with messages from potential clients/collectors yet, and I haven't asked the galleries whether they've gotten any response. So we'll see. But I really appreciate the good wishes!
