Marina, thank you and I know what you mean.

Allan, I would be in your area hopefully sometimes in the spring. Maybe we can share a few ideas. Thank you my friend.

Mischa,

I have to ask

Anyone that wishes may join in. I do not have the 5th plate but do have one that is in the same category that I can e-mail to anyone that wishes to join in.

All are welcome. Just to let you all know, this procedure is not just training your eye but it is the prep work for charcoal and painting.

Mischa,
I would really appreciate if you would e-mail me the plate you have. My e-mail is [email protected]
Thank you,
Olena

Olena It should be in your mailbox. It is a tif file, a large file, so you should be able to get a good copy.

Mischa,
My house is yours. We have plenty of room and look forward to meet you. I will send you my address and how to get there when I am back from France. My wife and I are going to visit some friends in the south of France, living in an old village. I have packed my gear and hope to come home with some smashing countryside paintings, he he ;)

Thank you Allan. I look forward to our getting together. I think in the spring would be best being that I will be quite busy for the next while.

I once planed to move to the southern part of France but it was not to be. I believe God knows best and directs us in the direction best for us. I wish you both a pleasant and a safe journey.

Wish you all the best

Dear Mischa, I visited your website yesterday and also saw this portrait. It is really beautiful. I like that she is not posing, but concentrated on the flower in her hands.

Wunderbar!

Misha, somehow I missed this or got side tracked and forgot to respond. Besides everything already mentioned, the rendering of her hands are just breath taking.

Binaca, Thank you for visiting my web page and for commenting on this drawing. I appreciate you sincere consideration.

Enzie, its understandable, at times we just have a few moments to glance and of we go to our busy everyday life. Still, you did take the time to write and share that you like what I did. That in it self says a lot. Thank you Enzie!

All the best to you.
