David,

I wish that I knew some words of appraisal that was not already used on this beautiful pastel. You deserve every one and more.

I think that pastel is a powerful discipline and not second to oil-painting, but I will look forward to your attempts on the canvas.

She reminds me of my own grandma in that coat and scarf and the mild determent gaze.

Add another 'wow' to the list. I'd like to see what this would have looked like if you were motivated!

Allan, I agree - and I look forward to my attempts at oil painting (I've got a canvas stretched and ready!). I'm sure it will feel like going three steps backward, as I really don't know what I'm doing. Thanks!

Thanks Jimmie. From one whose work ALWAYS knocks me out, I really appreciate your comments.

Lisa, I'm beginning to think that there should be an internet dating site - specifically for portrait artists. I think there is a need....Cynthia?
