Michele, thank you so much for nitpicking away at the little things, because you have demonstrated to me how I have to be with myself. It's a constant process of questioning and requestioning and never accepting "good enough". Oh, and the AGO has a [I]gorgeous[I] Bouguereau that I spent a long time studying a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if our painting teachers at OCA knew about what was essentially in the backyard...if they did, they kept it a big secret from me. (Note: it seems Michele and I went to school together about 100 years ago.)
Alex, thank you too for your excellent advice and support. (Good grief, I feel like I'm on the podium accepting the Big Award. Please excuse.) I'm seeing that maybe one of the great things about this forum is the "peer group". Mostly friends don't understand and family are a bit tired of it, so it's nice to get to hang with people who find the same things to be important.
Cheers, guys. Janet
