Linda,

Within a few seconds of seeing your painting of Jack my mind was taken to the following portrait, one of my favorites by John de la Vega. I can stare at it for long periods of time.

What are those things in the background? What exactly is that on our left? I don't know, I don't know. I do know that I want to stare at it. I am intrigued, I am mesmorized, I am trapped.

Looking at Jack and at some of your other paintings I think you and John have, at your core, similar sensibilities.
