Thank-you Carlos. I had been working in a well-known Seattle gallery for a time and had seen figurative works there like Susan Lyon's, Scott Burdick's, Joseph Lorusso, Pino and others. They were quite unlike the figurative work I knew in South Africa, and although I didn't completely like their work I was impressed by their abilities. This is a response to those influences (although it doesn't look much like their work really).
Sharon, thank-you too. I really value whatever you say, and that you say anything at all about my work. Please repeat at will. (I wish I had another set of words for "thank-you - it is most appreciated")
