The portraits of Michael, Bobby, and John are mesmerizing me beyond words.
Thank you, Jane
I love the painting of Sarah. It was one of my better moves, asking you to do the painting. Best of luck and I hope your next exhibit is in Toledo.

The paintings of the girls look great! You clearly were able to peer into their souls. Much of what you captured is known to us, – some is not. The colors splash and play in their hair and across their faces. Is it color or is it light broken into parts? Bravo! Will have fun with the paintings and treasure them always.
Thank you, Richard
