That looks terrific James.

Are you working on any murals in SA right now? I get up there often and need to pick up a painting at the Greenhouse Gallery this week or next as a matter of fact. I keep wondering if I might have seen any of your work.

Hey Kimberly,
Right now I am working on a little girls bedroom, more decorative painting than a mural on this one, and all of my work has been interior murals, so unless you know someone I have painted for, you probably haven't seen them. I am teaching drawing classes at the Michael's on 410 at Ingram and they have one of my graphite/charcoal portraits on display.
I would love to meet you when you come to town!

Great - I'll send out an email when I figure out when Im heading up there. :) I know that Michaels - a good place to grab some replacement brushes.

I think that I am ready to call this done. Thanks for all of the advice that you guys have given me.
Of course, if anyone sees anything that I may have overlooked please let me know.

James,

What a wonderful completion! It's perfection. What a talent you have.

Now you should unveil it!

I totallt agree, it looks great!

I look forward to seeing you go for color. With such a good sense of value, you should do just fine. :)

Thank you Garth and Lacey.
I hope I don't sound ignorant, but, what do you mean unveil it?

Thank you Molly. I have a model in mind, so we will see if she will let me take her pictures.
