AFter I'm done reading all the reflections, I'll have to come back and check out your work. Huge art buff here. Unfortunately, very little budget. Not a good combination. I guess I should learn to steal like Thomas Crown.

I could not even imagine doing a painting a day for 26 days. Truly inspiring art. I really loved the eyes on every painting.<br /><br />I would really love for you to take my sea turtle from my B&W post and be creative with it. I also have it in color if you would like to view it both ways for comparison. <br /><br />email me at ccfarch@live.com if you are interested. <br /><br />I really enjoy your work.
