Hi David--What a fun story and how neat to rediscover your first painting effort!
I'd love to see your 'Buddhist Nun. . .' but no image is showing for it, at least on my monitor  . . .

David, I am just knocked out by your Buddist Nun. It is fantastic. Promise me you will enter this one in contest after contest, it is a real winner.
I don't know what else to say to a first-time oil painter, but I might go slit my throat with my palette knife.

Well, David, you have inspired me again. This time I am inspired to put all of my paintings behind needlework so no one can see them.
You rock.

If the alternative is that you're tempted to destroy any of your gorgeous work, then I find that backing needleworks with paintings is great from a conservation standpoint. Or you can just give me some of them! Seriously Lisa, thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock!

Terri, thanks so much! You know when I got home last summer, and saw the photos of this nun, I knew they were good - my camera wasn't so hot and the color left something to be desired (I invented a bit) - they really did seem to capture something of her spirit. I only spent 15 minutes with her - she was a resident of this incredible 1500 year old temple complex, and she invited me into this little room - more like an alcove - to this little alter, to pray and burn a little incense. I didn't understand a word she said, but she just seemed to beam happiness. I was very impressed with her.

I'm not sure I want to enter any competitions you are in!! Call me, we'll work something out. Seriously, thanks so much for your positive feedback.
Jean, thanks so much.
