Congratulations! Good to hear something from you and doubly good that it's such lovely news.

Thank you! It's a relief to have some work hanging in a real gallery space. My studio is too full.

Now if only the work would sell...that would be awesome.

Fantastic work! Abbie told us all about it!. Great job!

Thank you! I wish I had been at pizza night to share the news, but Malie and M are both on antibiotics from strep so everyone went to bed early. I've escaped (so far) from the nastiness.

Congratulations on having your paintings accepted. I know what that feels like. Also, your baby is all grown up! I've been away too long.

Thank you! I'm pretty happy about it.

Malie is over four feet tall, though she only turned six in November. She talks (and reads) like a teenager though. we're pretty lucky.

Congrats~! I love the perspective in Sibling Rivalry.

I noticed that the pic of Sibling Rivalry is a lot cooler-toned in the background of the pic of you with your daughter... which posted pic is more accurate in the color?

The one at the top of the post (without us in it) is more accurate for color. I snapped a few gallery shots with my awful camera phone, which has terrible color and resolution. The pink and blue in the painting are pretty vibrant. :)

I figured; it's very fitting for the subject.

And Malie looks so big! Congrats on raising such an intelligent and happy-looking girl!

Awesome painting! Excellent composition. And the title, of course, made me smile. :D Congratulations!

Oh and hey, when did your baby girl become a grown woman?? Amazing how time flies.

Thanks! My sister is such a good model.

Malie is over four feet tall now (1.219 meters) and she's only six years old! Everyone thinks she is eight or nine, and she talks like a teenager. It's amazing how fast she's grown. But she's around adults all the time, so she speaks like them. :)
