Thank you, Doreen.

I have found that most people in the world overlook upstate New York, or they think that all of New York state is "Big City".

I'm glad that you like my style. When I was fortyish I did some research on several famous artists, specifically to see what "age" they were when they started producing the work that they are famous for, the work that is really good. I found that many of them never did anything worthwhile until they were in their fifties.

Richard Schmid said, in his video "The Captain's Portrait", that in Europe people don't expect an artist to come into their own until they are in their sixties. He said that it takes that long for an artist to mature.

It is not unusual for an artist to struggle all his life and then finally achieve the results that he has been pursuing, around the age of sixty. You're not dead until you're dead. This is especially true now days, since people are living longer and healthier lives than ever before.
