That looks terrific James.

Are you working on any murals in SA right now? I get up there often and need to pick up a painting at the Greenhouse Gallery this week or next as a matter of fact. I keep wondering if I might have seen any of your work.

Hey Kimberly,
Right now I am working on a little girls bedroom, more decorative painting than a mural on this one, and all of my work has been interior murals, so unless you know someone I have painted for, you probably haven't seen them. I am teaching drawing classes at the Michael's on 410 at Ingram and they have one of my graphite/charcoal portraits on display.
I would love to meet you when you come to town!

-James

I think that I am ready to call this done. Thanks for all of the advice that you guys have given me.
Of course, if anyone sees anything that I may have overlooked please let me know.

James,

What a wonderful completion! It's perfection. What a talent you have.

Now you should unveil it!
