Welcome Paul!

And thank you so much for your fine comment on my judge portrait!

As you may know, there's anothe firefighter on board here as well: Sergio Ostroverhy . I bet you share some things in common. I enjoyed seeing your firefighting themed paintings on your website.

I hope you profit and enjoy being here in this burgeoning portrait Forum community.

Garth
