Thank you so much, Janet! I'm honored that you would take the time to write such complimentary things about the portrait. It's always nice to hear. Yes, my husband is that kind of guy, even though street hockey isn't one of his skills, so I'm glad it came across.

I've been watching your progress in your paintings of your son's girlfriend. She has a fascinating face; I can see why you are driven to capture her likeness. The last portrait you did (or maybe you are still working on it) is lovely.
