Thanks everyone for your warm welcome and positive comments about my work! I think I will enjoy the forum a lot. Talking with other artists and seeing what they are doing is a great way to keep growing.

Garth, I do remember that card! Every once in a while I see it as I'm rooting through my stuff from old shows, etc.! Now I know why YOUR name is so familiar! And I greatly admire your work. I happened to see your portrait of Gov. Rendell as Mayor when it was in Judge Rendell's office. I was doing a portrait of Judge Shapiro and she wanted me to see how your work was framed because she wanted something similar. I thought you did a great job on the portrait. I especially like the way Rendell is contrasted with the carved figure on the mantlepiece behind him, and how you arranged the composition.
