Michele, Bonfim, Mischa, Karine, Grethe : Thanks for the congratulations !

Michele, I enjoyed speaking with you, it was very instructive...

Mischa : I'm planning a trip to France in August to see the family, but I'm not sure to be able to travel in all Europ because I will be with my 2 young children... Anyway, it would be a pleasure to meet you and Allan.

Karine : Destiny... Great subject!
I believe there is 2 sorts of destiny : the passive persons who watch their life as spectators, and the active persons who act to decide their life.
I'm trying to be the second one, although it's sometimes easier when you are a little sleepy or lazy, and to become only spectator of your life.

Marina this is wonderful news and well deserved! I wish I could have been at the conference and not only met you in person, but seen these beautiful paintings. Your paintings of young children has a very special quality to them and it comes as no surprise that it is being recognized. Good for you!

I am absolutely in love with the painting of the child holding the branch!

Congratulations Marina,

Like everyone else here, I am not surprised. Your work is beautiful.

These will be displayed in my neck of the woods so I will try to make a point to see them in person.

Again, congratulations.

Janel
