Thank you all, so much.

Enzie, you bring up an interesting point, sort of a la Cafe Guerbois. I refuse to ever do a second painting from the same pictorial resource, even though it is a question that is not uncommon.

It always was like the problem of dating two guys at the same time: there seems to a human imperative to compare the two, with the ultimate intent of eliminating one of them. This painting is an odd type of exception, since I am the only one I need to please here. (What a breath of fresh air.) Too bad I don't pay myself.
