I have such a great admiration for your determination, tenacity and self discipline. No one should ever use the excuse that they "don't have time to paint" or are "too busy" to improve their skills, once they read that phrase.

I know, Jimmy, that you have a wife, a young daughter and a full time job. Yet you make the time to devote to your artwork. Makes me want to renew my efforts to use every hour of my week more effectively, too.

Hello, I agree 100%. To my surprise I am not the only one working on paintings at wee hours! Whenever I have a project that I need to accomplish I work at midnight 2:00 am to 5:00 am as I work full time job and as a housewife I can not get "uninterrupted" time for my painting work.

Michele Rushworth, I am really impressed with details and expressions in your work. I am trying to achieve more perfection in my work, you have inspired me. Thanks.

I am going to submit more of my work for friendly critical suggestions.
