Jimmie, there is no stopping you now! Congratulations for a much deserved win!
Everyone: I can personally attest that this piece is wonderful to see. You see, Jimmie actually drove this pastel loose in the trunk of his car, down to my humble studio back in April. I was overwhelmed to see the real thing. So get out and see his show if you can, because "tracey in blue" (lower case prefered by jimmie) looks even better in person!
Thanks Jimmie for that preview!!
Garth

Jimmie,
Terrific. I will get a chance to see this as I will be in Mystic during that time. I know EXACTLY where that is as I am from Connecticut and that is near my old summer stomping grounds.
I'll see if I can make the opening!

Somehow this piece got past me until today....it's jawdroppingly fine.
Congrats on the show.

Thanks so much guys for the comments, they're making it easier to go in to work today.

Almost paid a price for that stunt, came home and had to fix several scratches before I could get it framed!
Sharon, that'll be great if you can make it. You can meet my wife and daughter. You will be sorely disappointed in my mingling skills (I don't have any, I usually hang around in a corner until everything is done  )

I had done small commissions before, nothing worth writing home. This was my first after getting back seriously into art a couple of years back. The best part is how much I suffered through it, so much so that I almost scrapped this piece. Thank God I did'nt!
Thanks again everyone.

I am so PROUD to say the least, Jimmie!!! It's your time to sing, so please please enjoy the acclaim and keep creating your unique and stunning work. I look forward to seeing your art in person some day when I get to your neck of the woods. How far is Mystic from New York???
