Thank you, Richard and Sharon,
Your kind comments mean a lot to me. I am lucky not only to have my lovely 16 year old daughter, but additionally, 15 and 11 year old daughters and 14 and 8 year old sons. All those kids at home can make it difficult to get anything done, but I do have a great source of models - all with different coloring, too.

Practically an entire portfolio!
Hard work and study pays off in more ways than I can enumerate. My enjoyment of the process of painting has skyrocketed.
